GIANT Fast Food Chain Announces HUGE CLOSURES in Utah, California & Nevada

No Way—It’s Wendy’s!

Wendy’s is the name scaling back, with plans to close down 140 underperforming restaurants nationwide by the end of next year. While it may seem like a small dent in their vast network of over 6,000 U.S. locations, fans in Utah, California, and Nevada have every reason to worry. With more than 400 Wendy’s restaurants across these states—86 in Utah, 298 in California, and 46 in Nevada—there’s a chance some of these spots may be on the chopping block.

Which Wendy’s Locations Might Be Closing?

Wondering how they decide which Wendy’s locations will face closure? It all comes down to sales. Wendy’s will be shutting down branches that rake in less than $1.1 million annually, which is about half of what the average Wendy’s brings in across the country. So, if your local Wendy’s rarely has a line, it could be at risk.

How Will This Impact Utah, California, and Nevada?

Here’s a quick look at what fans in these states might expect:

• Utah: With 86 Wendy’s locations across the state, fans in places like Salt Lake City and St. George may have to say goodbye to some favorite spots.
• California: As home to the most Wendy’s locations on the West Coast (298!), it’s likely a few less-busy spots in California will close their doors.
• Nevada: With only 46 Wendy’s in the state, fans in Nevada may be a little safer, but low-performing stores could still face closure.

Get Your Frosties While You Can!

Consider this a heads-up: if you’re in Utah, California, or Nevada and have a go-to Wendy’s for your late-night burger runs or those irresistible fries, now’s the time to enjoy it! Until the final list is released, let’s cross our fingers that our neighborhood Wendy’s will be spared.
