Wendy's to Close Hundreds of Locations Nationwide

Wendy's has announced plans to shut down about 300 stores across the United States in the near future.

Details on Wendy's Store Closures

According to Investing.com, the fast-food chain intends to close more than 350 locations nationwide. These new closures are separate from the 150 stores Wendy's planned to close by late 2024.

Interim CEO Ken Cook confirmed these plans during a quarterly earnings call on November 7. He emphasized the goal of preserving some locations while closing those that underperform.

"When we look at the system today, we have some restaurants that do not elevate the brand and are a drag from a franchisee financial performance perspective," Cook said. "The goal is to address and fix those restaurants."

The closures will begin later this year, although specific store locations were not disclosed.
