Apple Gold, Inc. opened its first Applebee's in Cary, NC in 1984. Since then, we have become America's favorite neighbors in North Carolina, Arkansas and Oklahoma, owning and operating over 63 Applebee's! We're one of the largest and THE most innovative franchises in the Applebee's system.

We need strong, value driven leaders who are not afraid to challenge assumptions, ask questions, gather and share information, and make appropriate decisions. In our learning organization you get the best of both worlds — the opportunity to work for a first class franchise concept while having the satisfaction of being personally responsible for the success of your restaurant. At Apple Gold, we’re looking for commitment — NOT compliance, and we want innovative managers with an entrepreneurial spirit.

With Apple Gold, our values and principles will guide your success.

• Respect - All people have an inherent worth and value and are deserving of respect. We treat people in a courteous, polite, and professional manner.
• Honesty - Honesty is essential to effective relationships; therefore, all employees must be honest with themselves before they can be honest with others. Doing so will enable and encourage personal and professional growth and development.
• Responsibility - All employees are held responsible for their decisions, and they accept the consequences of those decisions regardless of the outcome. All actions are guided by our principles, not by potential consequences.
