Wendy’s is closing several hundred U.S. restaurants and increasing its focus on value after a weaker-than-expected fourth quarter.
The Dublin, Ohio-based company said Friday that its global same-store sales, or sales at locations open at least a year, fell 10% in the October-December period. That was worse than the 8.5% drop expected by analysts polled by FactSet.
U.S. same-store sales fell even further in the fourth quarter. Wendy’s said late last year that it planned to close underperforming U.S. restaurants, but it gave more details about those closures Friday.
Make your food less shitty for a start
Never really had a problem with wendys food tbh. Beats the shit out of burger king, but I’m not sure burger king even qualifies as “food” and not salted cardboard.
While you’re not wrong, they have cheapened up quite a bit
True. I have fond memories of the spicy chicken sandwich as my go-to fast food item, and they are thinner than they used to be. Still just as juicy though when its a fresh one
It’s been a minute since I’ve eaten there (~2 years), but I remember their fries being terrible unless you got them fresh.
That being said their spicy chicken sandwich has been a favorite and the baconator is good.
these carboard have very little meat in it, probably repurposed bk bags.
You got salt?!
Of all the fast foods it’s my favorite :(
Sometimes you just need to go full American and eat a baconator. 乁( •_• )ㄏ
Thing is, those are surprisingly easy to make at home. And with how expensive fast food has become, that is something I have been doing more and more.
I don’t get how any fast food chains are not closing locations. My wife and I stopped being able to afford to go when inflation first hit and honestly if we have the money and feel like it the price for real food at real restaurants is not very much more.
It’s hard to find real restaurants that don’t buy their stuff frozen from the same source as a restaurant on the other side of the US.
Nah, thanks though
Not surprised. There prices are absurd at this point, and the quality of the food has been going down for years. I used to love there spicy chicken sandwich. But then the quality started to drop. At first it was just a bad sandwich every now and again, but the ratio of good sandwich and bad sandwich slowly got worse until I finally decided I had had enough. Haven’t been back to Wendy’s in about a year at this point. And their fires are decent when fresh, but quickly become worse as they get lose their freshness.
Food quality aside, how’s that surge pricing working out for you?
Frank and Artemis say their dumpsters are the best for bangin
