Wendy’s is an American fast food restaurant chain founded by Dave Thomas on November 15, 1969, in Columbus, Ohio. The company moved its headquarters to Dublin, Ohio, on January 29, 2006.
As of December 31, 2018, Wendy’s was the world’s third-largest hamburger fast-food chain with 6,711 locations, following Burger King and McDonald’s. On April 24, 2008, the company announced a merger with Triarc Companies Inc., a publicly traded company and the parent company of Arby’s. Despite the new ownership, Wendy’s headquarters remained in Dublin.
Wendy’s menu consists primarily of hamburgers, chicken sandwiches, French fries and beverages such as soft drinks, Frostys (a form of soft serve ice cream mixed with flavored syrups) and shakes. Wendy’s also offers salads, baked potatoes and chili. As of September 30, 2018, Wendy’s was the world’s second-largest hamburger fast-food chain with 6,537 locations
So why is Wendy’s so expensive?
There are a few reasons.
First of all, Wendy’s uses fresh beef in their burgers rather than frozen patties like most other fast food chains. This means that their burgers are more expensive to produce.
Secondly, Wendy’s has a higher average check size than other fast food chains. This is because they offer more premium items on their menu such as salads and chicken sandwiches.
Lastly, Wendy’s locations are generally located in more affluent areas than other fast food chains. This means that their customer base is willing to spend more on their meals.
So there you have it! These are the main reasons why Wendy’s is more expensive than other fast food chains.
