Wendy’s is set to close hundreds of restaurants as customers struggling financially cut back on dining out.

Interim CEO Ken Cook announced on an earnings call Friday that the fast food chain will close a “mid single-digit percentage” of locations. With about 6,000 restaurants, Wendy’s could shutter between 200 to 350 locations.

Cook said some restaurants are expected to close as early as later this year, and locations will continue to shutter in 2026.

    sweet tea is so much better at the local joints and usually cleaner and way fresher like the food

    I can get fresh squeezed limeade at my local mexican corner store/tortilla shop and it’s so fucking good.
