    make its remaining stores more appealing

    LOL wtf how does closing one branch make a not-closed branch “more appealing”? i guess if you’re a wendy’s shareholder, then you’re enough of a sucker to believe something that dumb.

      A couple of things. First, more appealing as in people will be forced to go to one that is open. And open one is “more appealing” than a closed one cuz you can actually get food. Also, more money can be spent on upgrades and staffing if there are less stores.

    They retired my sweet and sour sauce so I stopped eating there. I’m angrier about this than I care to admit publicly but here we are.

      The one by me is pretty nice and I have no issues. But there is one across town that is terrible and dirty just looks nasty. I’m assuming that will be on the list to close.
