Wendy's Announces Major U.S. Restaurant Closures
Wendy's will shut down hundreds of low-performing locations across the United States by 2026 as part of a broader plan to revitalize its business and strengthen overall profitability. The initiative is designed to streamline operations and concentrate resources on more successful restaurants.
The decision follows a previous wave of closures in which 140 stores were shuttered last year. These measures come as the company faces increased competition and seeks to reverse a recent decline in domestic sales.
“This move aims to strengthen the system and boost profitability at remaining restaurants.”
The company hopes that by consolidating its network and focusing on efficiency, it can improve financial results and restore growth momentum in a crowded fast-food market.
