Applebee’s

Look for 10 new Applebee’s to emerge in Egypt. The chain has 147 restaurants in 15 countries outside the U.S.; its strongest presence is in Mexico, Canada and Saudi Arabia. Parent DineEquity is working with AMECO on the deal. In June,  DineEquity unveiled IHOP’s first international development foray, a multi-restaurant franchise deal to develop 40 new IHOPs in nine Middle East countries. The company is based in Glendale, Calif.
