Wendy’s to close another 140 ‘outdated’ and ‘underperforming’ restaurants by year’s end

Wendy’s announced plans to close another 140 restaurants by the end of the year, citing “underperforming” locations.

According to CNN, these locations are expected to close within the next few months, joining 100 other locations that the company said it would close in May. These will all be restaurants that are “outdated and located in underperforming areas,” said Wendy’s CEO Kirk Tanner.

However, the company said it would open nearly the same number of locations to offset closures in more profitable areas for the fast-food giant.

The company has not yet released a list of locations on the chopping block, but there are currently 6,012 restaurants in the U.S., including 145 in New Jersey, according to the company’s website.

There are other restaurant chains that have announced closures due to underperforming locations, including Denny’s and TGI Friday’s.
