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.

    I’m not picky with fast food, but the local Wendy’s is revolting. Only went in there for the chili sauce, now that’s not enough to tempt me. The Burger King is even worse and the McDonald’s get worse with each visit.
