Anyone interested in reopening the Wendy’s restaurants will need significant wealth. Wendy’s requires a franchise owner to have a net worth of at least $1 million, with $500,000 in liquid assets, plus a successful business and franchise track record, according to the International Franchise Association.

 

In addition, the typical franchisee would have to pay start-up costs of $250,000 to $600,000, according to the association.

Wendy’s franchises about 6,600 restaurants, and owns about 1,400, according to the association

Did I read this wrongly?

Could have sworn that there's an outlet at Lau Pa Sat which I just passed by few days back and it's still operating unless my eyes played tricks on me😃

Yup your eyes didn't play tricks, they were still there last week, but closed since Monday.

I think hiring ppl to work in F&B are getting tough. BK might be next. When you see them like boh seng lee(not much business) it's just a matter of time.

Wendy's never be famous in Singapore.

They only get famous when they were part of the 50yrs flood.

I don't think BK will close so fast.. I find their burgers best among these tiers of fast-food restaurants.. unlike McD...

Best not always = to good business.

Their marketing are not strong enough... You ask any kids about fast food and they will tell you Mcd.

okay lah. they got a few outlets that always packed.. hopefully the turnover is good enough for them to sustain..

 

at least their burgers are much fresher than McD..

Used to be a fast food fan (MCD and KFC) but I've never eaten at Wendy's.

 

What's good there?

Nothing's good. The food and service is 3rd rate compared to major fast food joints here. Yes, rental and limited workforce is challenging, but McDonalds, KFC, BK and several others managed to stay afloat. So it all boils down to the management - bad hiring, inefficient staff, no quality control, short-term view, want instant profit, no long-term goal, etc. Basically just slap on a logo in front of restaurant and think ppl will come in automatically.

 

Reminds me of certain car distributors...
