Apple Peddler Restaurant offers an authentically all-American dining experience for the whole family with four locations across Oregon and one in California. Founder and owner Carl Wheeler has always appreciated families enjoying themselves at meal time. He started working in the restaurant industry at a young age and as a teenager, he helped in the kitchen of his parents’ restaurant. With the experience from working at his parents’ restaurant under his belt, he found employment with a growing family restaurant chain. He worked his way from cook to vice president. After years of continued growth and experience as vice president, he left in 1987 and opened his first Apple Peddler Restaurant.
