Wendys closing 300 U.S. stores in 2025-2026 amid rising food prices and chilis competition

Wendys faces tough times as burger chains struggle with high food prices and fewer customers. Inflation and cheaper deals at Chilis are hurting sales. To improve profits, Wendys will close around 300 U.S. stores in 2025-2026. The company hopes this will boost traffic and make remaining locations stronger while staying competitive in fast-food and casual dining.
