, <\/em>franchisee and operator of Applebee’s in Michigan, announces its entrance into the craft cocktail market with its recently-formed partnership with Ferndale-based Valentine Distilling Co. Two craft cocktails featuring Valentine vodka products are now available in its 65 Applebee\u2019s locations in Michigan. <\/p>\n\n\n\nA classic Moscow mule featuring Valentine Vodka can now be found on participating Applebee\u2019s menus. And for a twist on the classic mule, a Motown Mule featuring Valentine White Blossom Vodka is also available. Both are served in Valentine-branded, copper mugs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTo kick off the New Year, we are extremely excited to share two of our favorite cocktails with innovative restauranteurs at TEAM Schostak,\u201d said founder Rifino Valentine of Valentine Distilling Co.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a family-owned company, TSFR purchased the Michigan Applebee\u2019s due to its alignment with their company values of creating a neighborhood dining experience with high-quality food at an affordable price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe understand the dining experience often begins with a cocktail. Having the opportunity to partner with a local, craft brand that\u2019s already won international acclaim was an easy decision to make. This allows us to offer something unique & different from other national dining establishments.\u201d said TSFR Executive Chairman Mark Schostak. \u201cThroughout our more than five years owning and operating Applebee\u2019s, we have remained committed to bringing a local perspective of the market to our Applebee\u2019s locations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Recognized as one of The Detroit Free Press\u2019 2018 Michigan Top Workplace, TSFR is proud to be the local owner and operator of Applebee\u2019s and looks forward to continuing to lead the way both in the restaurant industry and the communities it serves for years to come. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
