Another major player in the burger game has been not-so-quietly eyeing our sunburnt shores, and soon enough, we may be (re)welcoming several Wendy’s Australia outposts. Although perhaps the term “welcoming” might not be the most accurate, despite the positive reception of the local pop-up event hosted circa 2021.
For background, just a few months prior, multiple reports revealed the world’s third largest burger chain (not to be confused with homegrown operation Wendy’s Milk Bar) was hungry for expansion. At that stage, consultancy firm DC Strategy had already been appointed to recruit “master franchisees” capable of slinging Dave’s Single square cheeseburgers, Frosty delights, and Baconators.
Since then, Wendy’s Chief Development Officer Abigail Pringle has confirmed there are indeed plans to purchase Aussie land for new restaurants and re-conquer territory on behalf of the US$4.8 billion (AU$7 billion) fast-food giant; having previously attempted to stake their claim here before folding in 1985 with $8 million worth of debts and eventually selling all 11 failed Melbourne stores to Hungry Jack’s billionaire Jack Cowin.
