So a company that has items as low as one dollar can't make it in this economy? But I was told repeatedly that "Happy Days Are Here Again" by the fool box.

Based on their recent ads, had a “baconator” the other day

For Pete’s sake - make the bacon crisp and you won’t have to close stores !!!!!!!!!!

They closed one in Overland Park, Ks about 30 days ago. It had been open about 15 years in a location with poor access .

Which is more likely? Draw more business thru remodling or menu changes? Frankly, as long as an eatery is clean, I don’t care what it looks like. It’s the food that draws me.

I thought they were franchise restaurants. Why not sell them to entrepreneurs and make them franchises?

Their burgers aren’t bad at all.

Their chili is horrible, I guess I am biased because I live in Texas!

Some of these chains have overbuilt, or they built more than a bad economy can support. Remember Krispy Kreme’s rapid expansion and pull back?

I’m in Marshfield, WI presently and the one and only Wendy’s closed about a month and a half ago.

They could just raise their prices. Problem solved in Obamaville!

I went to a Wendy’s last year. Gave it a try. It was bad. Not going back ever. Overall a bad experience. Did not get food poisoning like a previous poster though, so I guess I was lucky.

Wendy’s Frosty

Freeze the ice cream maker bowl for 24 to 48 hours.
Put plastic wrap on the bowl to prevent ice crystals
from forming.

1 quart rich, thick chocolate milk
14 oz can sweetened condensed milk

In a medium bowl, whisk together chocolate milk and
sweetened condensed milk until combined. Pour into
canister of 1-1/2 quart ice cream maker and freeze
according to your ice cream maker’s directions.

Turn your ice cream maker on before pouring. This
helps to prevent the liquid from sticking to the
sides right away. Pull off the plastic wrap from your
ice cream maker bowl, and pour the mixture into the
bowl as it is turning. Blend for about 25 minutes for
a thick consistency. Serve in cups (with spoons).

With a blender

In a large mixing bowl, combine chocolate milk and
sweetened condensed milk. Mix the ingredients using a
large blender. Once thoroughly combined, put the mixture
into a freezer safe container and freeze for 2 or more
hours, making sure you stir thoroughly every half hour
until desired thickness is reached.

Oh no, I hope not in Nephi, Utah. As we leave SLC early mornings on our way back to southern Utah, Wendy’s in Nephi is 90 miles and the perfect pit stop after morning coffee needs draining and refilled.

Fast food is pretty ruthless competition. I can see why a chain would close the lowest performing locations as demographics change over time.

We’re talking 130 outlets out of 6650 or <2%

Around 30 years ago, during my last year of grad school, I was about broke. I discovered Wendys had a salad bar with all kinds of good things including a couple of kinds of meat.

It was only a dollar and all you wanted to eat. I basically skipped breakfast and Supper and stuffed myself with salad at lunch.

I am sure they dropped it tho I haven’t been there in years. Just too much stuff for a dollar and others must have figured out the same thing I did.

Wendy’s has gotten left behind in the pallet curve. They used to be one of the better fastfood joints, still not really good but on the top tier. In recent years a new breed of fastfood has come up with much better food. Wendy’s went from one of the best to one of the worst without changing anything, they stood still too long.
