The Franchise Opportunity

The concept

Famous for its square patties, Wendy’s® was founded in 1969 by Dave Thomas in Columbus, Ohio and the burger brand expanded internationally in 1975.

The growing business

There are over 6500 restaurants in the US and 29 other countries worldwide.

There are plans to open 50 branches across the UK this year, following restaurant openings in Reading, Stratford, Oxford, Croydon, Brighton, Ilford, Camden, and Romford.

The franchise opportunity

The Wendy’s Company burger chain is seeking experienced, well-capitalised multiunit franchisees to help drive organic growth throughout the UK by investing in its franchise opportunity.

About the brand

Company founder Dave built his Wendy’s fast food business on the premise, “Quality is our Recipe®,” which remains the guidepost of the Wendy’s system and the Wendy’s menu when customers enter its dining room.

The iconic American brand is the the third-largest hamburger chain in the world - behind fast food heavyweights McDonald's and Burger King.

Wendy's menu is split into 12 categories - breakfast combos, breakfast sandwiches, sides and porridge, coffee and beverages, combos, hamburgers, chicken sandwiches and nuggets, veggie options, fresh-made salads, fries and sides, frosty and Wendy's kids meals.

About You

The Wendy’s Company burger chain is seeking experienced, well-capitalised multiunit franchisees to help drive organic growth throughout the UK by investing in its franchise opportunity.

The Wendy’s Company will lead brand execution and innovation, and provide in-market support to all franchisees to help ensure the long-term success of their franchise restaurant venture.

Qualified Wendy’s franchisee candidates should have: proven operations experience, local expertise and financial strength.

The Wendy’s franchise cost, along with liquid assets requirement, will be discussed with prospective franchisees in detail during a meeting with key members of the company’s franchise staff, who will also cover all key elements of the franchise business. Investment is around £1m per restaurant depending on location, and as you will be entering into a mutli-unit deal, we expect candidates to have around £6m

liquid capital.

In the UK, the company wants to partner with franchisees who have the ability to develop a number of restaurants within their allotted trading territory. The minimum number of restaurants a franchisee is required to open in the UK depends on a number of factors, including territory size and length of the franchise agreement.
