Wendy's to close up to 350 'underperforming' locations nationwide

The popular fast food chain Wendy’s announced on Friday that the company plans to close 200 to 350 locations nationwide as part of its turnaround plan.

Ken Cook, Wendy’s interim CEO, claimed that a “mid single-digit percentage” of the company’s approximate 6,000 U.S. locations could close, according to CNN.

The locations being considered in the closures are stores that have “consistently underperformed,” which have hampered the fast food chains’ overall performance

“These actions will strengthen the system and enable franchisees to invest more capital and resources in their remaining restaurants,” Cook said. “Closures of underperforming units are expected to boost sales and profitability at nearby locations.”
