Thousands of folks in the Tri-State will explore the hot, new businesses in franchising as the International Franchise Expo returns to New York City’s newly renovated Javits Center from Thursday June 20 through Saturday June 22.  Even in a down economy, franchising has experienced rapid growth in the past decade (more than 40%), enabling franchise establishments to employ more than 8 million Americans.  After 20 years in Washington D.C., the IFE moved to the Big Apple last year because of its larger economic market and strong international presence.  And due to the show’s unprecedented success in 2012, the IFE returns to New York City for the second straight year.

Everything old is new again. With its reputation for being as American as apple pie, Applebee’s has taken three classic all-American sandwiches and enriched their flavor by adding a few twists.

Starting with the classic BLT, Applebee’s smothers its Applewood smoked bacon with American cheese, adds a touch of smoky mayo, iceberg lettuce and tomato and cradles it all on its warmly toasted Tuscan bread to create its American BLT. Also new to its menu is a Classic Turkey Breast sandwich which serves up thick slices of slow-cooked turkey breast with crisp romaine lettuce, tomato and a dollop of smoky mayo for fresh flavor; a toasted ciabatta bun lends a light, distinct crunch to each bite. The last of its new classics will bring back childhood memories. Applebee’s Four-Cheese Grille is a grilled cheese sandwich that blends sharp cheddar with aged white cheddar, Asiago and Parmesan cheeses all melted together on freshly toasted Tuscan bread and served with a hardy bowl of tomato basil soup.
