Wendy’s is set to close hundreds of restaurants as customers struggling financially cut back on dining out.
Interim CEO Ken Cook announced on an earnings call Friday that the fast food chain will close a “mid single-digit percentage” of locations. With about 6,000 restaurants, Wendy’s could shutter between 200 to 350 locations.
Cook said some restaurants are expected to close as early as later this year, and locations will continue to shutter in 2026.
I just want to be the nerd that says if the system started and worked well enough to sustain itself to a point, and then stopped working, that would be a failed experiment right.
No because governments are not experiments. There are times when differing system’s strengths make for a better choice than others. For example representative democracy works great when almost everyone can read and do math. Representative democracy is a shitshow if most have no education because you need an informed population to make sound choices.
