Wendy's to close 140 low performing restaurants by the end of the year

Wendy's is accelerating plans to shut down many of its lower performing restaurants globally while also adding a similar number of new locations, executives revealed at an earnings call last month.

The fast food chain will close an additional 140 locations this year, Wendy’s Chief Financial Officer Gunther Plosch said on the call. These "outdated" restaurants make far below the system average with average volume unit of approximately $1.1 million.

However, the company plans to replace these sites with more profitable locations with average unit volumes of $2 million and more.

Around 250 to 300 new Wendy's sites were expected to have opened in 2024, Wendy's spokesperson Heidi Schauer confirmed to USA TODAY.

"After our strategic review, we now expect a similar number of closures as openings, so we expect net unit growth in 2024 to be roughly flat," Schauer said in a statement.

Wendy's President and CEO Kirk Tanner said on the earnings call that these underperforming restaurants will be replaced by new units in more profitable locations.

"When you think about strengthening our system you look at a brand that's 55 years old and some of those restaurants are just out of date," Tanner told investors.

He added the company has already launched around 500 locations in the past two years.
