The 10 shuttered stores are all owned 00:08:03.329 --> 00:08:06.269 by an Atlanta -based Applebee's franchisee that 00:08:06.269 --> 00:08:09.769 sought Chapter 11 protection. Most locations 00:08:09.769 --> 00:08:12.129 were closed before the franchisee's bankruptcy 00:08:12.129 --> 00:08:16.329 petition on March 24.
