NASDAQ: WEN
The Wendy's Company operates and franchises a system of quick-service restaurants under the Wendy's brand, serving made-to-order food including square hamburgers using fresh beef, chicken sandwiches, nuggets, Frosty desserts, and other menu items. The company operates through a predominantly franchised model with more than 7,000 restaurants worldwide, generating revenue from company-operated restaurant sales, franchise royalties, franchise fees, franchise rental income, and advertising funds. Its revenue streams are split between company-operated locations and franchise economics including royalties computed as a percentage of franchisee sales. The company is undergoing a leadership transition and turnaround effort under new CEO Bob Wright, who has identified five strategic priorities to address declining traffic, weakening value positioning, and franchisee economics challenges in a competitive QSR environment.
