which wendy's are closing

Wendy’s has announced a plan to close hundreds of its locations in the United States as part of a turnaround effort. While exact lists of closing stores were not released at the time of the announcements, the company indicated that the closures would total roughly 200 to 350 locations, with some estimates suggesting closer to 300. The pace is expected to begin in the fourth quarter of this year and continue into 2026, and some closures may involve upgrading or transferring locations to new operators rather than outright shutdowns. For location-specific closures, watch official Wendy’s investor communications and local news outlets for any region-by-region lists as they are released.
