1st Ever Wendy’s to Shut Down


COLUMBUS, Ohio - Wendy’s International Inc. said Friday that sagging sales will force it to close the restaurant where the nation’s third-largest hamburger chain began in 1969. The iconic restaurant, filled with memorabilia and photographs of the late Wendy’s founder, Dave Thomas, will close March 2.

I guess that’s sad news. But they could have just kept the place and have it running as a restaurant but as a little museum. Afterall the franchise can afford it.

I remember when we had a Wendy’s in Kuwait a while back and was pissed when they put Burger King instead. I missed the baked potatoe and the square burgers. I didn’t even ask around to see if there was another Wendy’s in Kuwait. I don’t know why though. Is there?

I also remember Arby’s. I think I was 11 or 12 when that left too.

What about Dairy Queen?

    Wendy’s, Arby’s, Whimpy’s, all the classics are being replaced by McDonald’s. I love the Double Cheesburgers at McD’s, but sometimes you miss stuff like Musa7ab from “el Ba6a el Mare7a”, or the Super Bunny (no, it’s NOT the same as the Burger King Whopper!!)
