MIAMI, Fla. /FLORIDA NEWSWIRE/ — Doherty Enterprises, an Applebee’s® franchisee, announced today its first Applebee’s ghost kitchen concept in Miami, opening on July 27, 2022. Located in the trendy Wynwood Arts District just north of Downtown Miami, the new to go and delivery concept will offer area residents a limited selection of their favorite Applebee’s menu items with the convenience of home delivery.
Wynwood district guests will be able to order from the Applebee’s website directly or through popular delivery app services like DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub, and Postmates. Guests can also opt to pick-up orders themselves.
“With the recent explosive growth of delivery apps, we felt it was the right time to experiment with a ghost kitchen,” said Kurt Pahlitzsch, VP of Operations, Doherty Enterprises. “Our first-ever Applebee’s ghost kitchen in Wynwood allows us to explore the business viability of getting Applebee’s meals to more people without the sizable commitment of opening a brick-and-mortar restaurant.”
Delivery from the new kitchen will be available seven days a week from 11:30 a.m. to midnight. The ghost kitchen will be in the Wynwood Eatery at 1900 NE Miami Ct., Miami.
