After nearly 30 years in West Bend, Applebee's has permanently closed.
Company officials confirmed the West Bend Applebee's, 2510 W. Washington St., closed April 27. It had been open since 1996, according to company officials.
The company did not provide a reason for its closure.

Other Milwaukee-area locations that recently closed, according to Applebee's officials, are the Pewaukee location, 1267 Capitol Drive, in 2023; the New Berlin location, 15505 W. Rock Ridge Road, in 2020, and the Brookfield location, 20101 W. Bluemound Road, in 2014.
