Wendy's Announces Major Restaurant Closures Across the U.S.
Wendy's is set to close hundreds of underperforming locations across the United States by 2026. This decision is part of a broader turnaround strategy aimed at improving the overall health of the brand.
Reason Behind the Closures
The closures aim to strengthen the system and enhance profitability at the remaining restaurants. This comes after shutting down 140 stores last year as the chain responds to declining domestic sales amid intense competition in the fast-food market.
