Wendy’s Company leadership demonstrates strong commitment to growing in the UK
Today, there are more than 30 Wendy’s locations in the UK with more Wendy’s restaurants opening in 2023 and the year ahead.
Wendy’s along with its four traditional franchisees (and counting) plan to bring Wendy’s to fans where they live, work and play across the country.
We’ve built a strong pipeline of franchise candidates to build out our presence in the UK and there are several territories still available with some exciting new incentives on offer.
Why we have been able to achive this in the UK:
- Company and Multi-Franchisee model to achieve scale quicker
- Leading brand execution and innovation to ensure success
- Wendy’s leadership expertise and partnership globally and in the region
Quality That Stands Out
The QSR burger market offers huge growth potential in the UK and we’re here to challenge the competition. Our research revealed that British consumers have been putting up with a lack of quality and choice for years and we feel they deserve better. We know British consumers are craving great tasting, high-quality food at affordable prices and that’s what we’re here to give them. We offer customizable menu items which are made to order, using fresh ingredients that are locally sourced whenever possible. Our signature square burgers are made with fresh British beef, our salads are prepared fresh daily and our sandwiches are served hot off the grill. We use freshly cracked eggs and serve crispy oven-baked Applewood smoked bacon that is freshly-cooked in every restaurant every day
