Wendy's Is Simply the Best Overall

Wendy’s is closing 140 ‘outdated’ restaurants by end of year

(NEXSTAR) — Wendy’s is closing roughly 140 underperforming locations by the end of 2024, the company announced during an earnings call on Thursday.

“This initiative makes us even stronger,” said Wendy’s president and CEO Kirk Tanner, explaining that the closures are part of a broader plan to “strengthen our system.”

Tanner said that many of the affected locations are outdated and in slower-growth areas, with average yearly sales of about $1 million, below Wendy’s typical performance.

Keep in mind all companies number one goal is to profit. No profit no company.
The fact that a multi-million mega corporation based on selling hamburgers tells you more about you the customer than the company.

I hear of long lineups at In-N-Out drive throughs to get a burger.

The fat drive up consumer does not direct such a company

Idiot

The issue with Wendy's are the buns. There is just something off about them. I know everyone says McDonalds sucks but for some reason I always seen lines at lunch 40 deep and I drive by a Wendy or BK and there is no line. Arbys is even worse. When I go to Mcdonalds I just get the thin cheeseburger and a 6 piece nugget. That is it.

Surprising, as I thought all or most were franchised, like McDonald's.

Maybe they're closing 140 corporate stores. They're glad to let the franchisees flail and lose money, because the corporation still makes bank.

I am still pissed they killed the 20-pack of spicy nuggets everywhere. For awhile it was available at some locations, before being killed entirely. That was the best deal by far on nuggets. The 10-pack, the most common quantity ordered, is the worst deal per nugget, which is on purpose.

They brought back 20-packs for the "saucy" nuggets, but not the regular/spicy ones. And I don't want the saucy nuggets.

Volume of sales is very important. Proven. If a company introduces a product that does not result in extra profit it may be removed. Many possibilities for this, one, low sales of mega packs of grease.

Wendy’s was my fave growing up partially cause it didn’t exist in my city so I only got it once or twice a year. Big bacon classic was great now the bacon deluxe. As for breakfast sandwiches though I can’t have them knowing that A&W has the great Canadian breakfast. So damn good. I try and grab one every two months.

Did that breakfast come from a fast food place? It looks quite amazing. I recently went to Dennys and got something like that for dinner. Breakfast for dinner is incredibly underrated. The French Slam from Dennys for dinner is about as good as it gets. Please no dire health comments splithis.

If u r gonna have sunny side up or over easy, no French toast, gotta use reg toast to dip then hash browns a must to mix together with sausage. Breakfast best when cooked at home.

I went to Wendy's here in North LA County this week and ordered the usual double burger. It was so good, I had to come back there and give the high quality burger an A grade, it really was high quality.

This is a legit post, not a joke. Good job Wendys.

[lol wow]

but what if it was called MENDY'S i cant tell if thats a way worse or a way better name like kind of invokes jewish deli vibes, but also sex with men vibes?

Yes I don't know if they have it in USA but I try and get that A&W breakfast every few months. It looks identical to the picture and cheaper than diner breakfast nowadays.

I don't disagree with the homemade breakfast, but it is a lot to clean up afterwards, and your kitchen smells like bacon all day. I'd just rather get the big breakfast type out. Diners only, I can't stand the elegant breakfast places where they try to turn two eggs and bacon into a three course meal.
