US chain Wendy’s to open 200 stores in Australia

Following the rumors of Wendy's coming to Australia earlier this year, it is now confirmed.

The American fast-food company has entered into an agreement with Flynn Restaurant Group, who purchased all Pizza Hut branches in Australia earlier this year, to establish 200 Wendy's outlets across the country.

According to an article on News.com.au, Ron Bellamy, the CEO of Flynn Restaurant Group, expressed that Wendy's is a remarkable brand with considerable unexplored possibilities beyond the borders of the United States.

"We believe that Australia is a perfect match for our brand, considering the smart and discerning nature of Australian consumers. We are excited about introducing our brand to the market and in doing so, revolutionizing the expectations of Australians when it comes to Quick-Service Restaurants."

Wendy's organized a temporary shop in Sydney last year, and it received such a warm response that it solidified the brand's popularity in Australia.

At the occasion, complimentary burgers and Frosty shakes were distributed among the attendees in The Rocks.

According to 9News, the completion of the 200-store expansion will occur no later than 2034. The implementation of this plan will mainly take place after the year 2025.

Wendy's has gained recognition for its square-patty hamburgers that are never frozen. The company was founded in 1969 and has grown to have a presence in 6800 places worldwide.

The food selection mainly consists of hamburgers, chicken nuggets, french fries, and its renowned Frosty dessert flavors like strawberry and chocolate.
