Wendy’s is closing several hundred U.S. restaurants and increasing its focus on value after a weaker-than-expected fourth quarter.

Wendy’s is closing several hundred U.S. restaurants and increasing its focus on value after a weaker-than-expected fourth quarter.

The Dublin, Ohio-based company said Friday that its global same-store sales, or sales at locations open at least a year, fell 10% in the October-December period. That was worse than the 8.5% drop expected by analysts polled by FactSet.

U.S. same-store sales fell even further in the fourth quarter. Wendy’s said late last year that it planned to close underperforming U.S. restaurants, but it gave more details about those closures Friday.

      I’m certainly not going to Wendy’s looking to eat anything but like a piece of shit. Wendy’s are the best fast food burgers, IMO, although I’m east coast, and obviously things vary depending on where you are.

        im not making a comment on quality, but of variety of options. i also expect pieces of shit at any fast food place, but plenty of wendy’s competitors offer a non meat option.
