Wendy’s Announces Major U.S. Store Closures as Sales Decline

Wendy’s will close about 240–360 U.S. restaurants (around 4–6% of its locations) by the end of 2025 amid falling sales.

Interim CEO Ken Cook said the move targets underperforming stores to strengthen the brand and improve franchise profitability after 4.7% same-store sales drop last quarter.
