TIL the original Applebee’s location, opened in 1980 in Decatur, GA, had an old-timey drugstore theme and was named T.J. Applebee’s RX for Edibles and Elixirs.

1. This is why the only people who go to Applebees are ones with amnesia or dementia, since they don’t remember how shitty it is and they think it’s a pharmacy.

3. I think it’s illegal to name or theme a restaurant after a pharmacy/Dr office now. I remember a news article some years ago about an old bar being forced to change the name it had for many decades because it’s name was still the same as when it first opened as a pharmacy
