Wendy’s To Shut 300+ U.S. Stores in 2025 as Part of Turnaround Plan
Wendy’s is closing 300 underperforming U.S. locations as part of its Project Fresh restructuring — a plan to boost franchise profitability and brand consistency. The closures, starting late 2025, follow 140 shutdowns last year. Some stores may reopen under new ownership, while others will close permanently.
