Wendy’s to close hundreds of restaurants as part of brand revitalization effort

(CNN) – Wendy’s said it plans to close at least 5% of its restaurants over the next few months.

The closures are part of a previously announced turnaround plan.

In November, the fast-food chain said it would shutter hundreds of restaurants.

According to the company’s earnings, Wendy’s had nearly 6,000 U.S. locations at the end of last year.

The company has not announced a list of affected stores.
