Wendy's lovers must be distressed, but there is nothing to worry about!
The good news is that Wendy's 140 outlets are shutting down so that an equal number of new ones can pop up! In a recent interview, Wendy's CEO Kirk Tanner discussed the new chapter of Wendy's in detail, saying:
"The restaurants targeted to close are outdated and located in underperforming areas."
The CEO also revealed that their financial performance is below the system average. However, as of now, there is no list of the specific location outlets that are to be closed.
Is Wendy's CEO making a mistake?
Wendy's is an American International fast-food chain that has been in operation since 1969. The decision to close 140 outlets was made after an in-depth research process that supposedly included robust reviews of individual restaurants that ensured they met sales expectations.
The higher the sales, the more resources there are for growth. Growth can only mean one thing—better customer experience.
The chain is building around 250-300 new locations inspired by technologically enhanced design, including new pick-up windows, updated kitchen appliances, and a spruced-up interior.
The famous hamburger restaurant chain currently has 6,000 outlets in the U.S., and it's not shrinking any time soon!
"You look at a brand that's 55 years old and some of those restaurants are quite out of date.", Tanner said.
