What is Wendy’s 4 for $4 Deal?
The 4 for $4 has gained popularity for its value and is on Wendy’s value menu.
Wendy’s fans across Florida may be asking, “Where’s the beef?” if locations begin to close by the end of the year.
The company will close a “mid single-digit percentage” of locations, interim CEO Ken Cook told investors, and one investor estimated that to be 300 locations.
On the Treasure Coast, there are 16 Wendy’s locations, with one more set to open in Palm City by summer.
While a list of Wendy’s restaurants that will close has not been released, here’s what to know about the closures.
Why is Wendy’s closing locations?
The newest wave of Wendy’s closings was announced in a Nov. 7 quarterly earnings call, USA TODAY reported.
Similar to last year’s round of closures, the aim is to shutter locations that don’t “elevate the brand,” Cook said in the call.
“The company plans to replace these sites with more profitable locations with average unit volumes of $2 million and more,” Wendy’s spokesperson Heidi Schauer confirmed to USA TODAY in 2024. “Around 250 to 300 new Wendy’s sites were expected to have opened in 2024.”
Now, just a year after closing 140 of its stores, the fast food chain is planning to close hundreds more of its locations around the country.
