Wendy’s is moving ahead with its plans to close hundreds of restaurants, amounting to between 5% and 6% of its total stores in the U.S., according to its fourth-quarter earnings report.

Published on February 13, the report shows that Wendy’s domestic business is lagging behind its international efforts. Total same-store sales fell 10.1% over the quarter, driven by low performance in the U.S., where same-store sales were down 11.3% (compared to 2% at international locations). Overall, global systemwide sales were $3.4 billion, a decrease of 8.3% from the previous quarter.

I agree. I do have to note that on my personal experience the quality of chipotle varies by location. For instance, when I travel to affluent areas such as Ft. Lauderdale on the east coast of Florida, I leave chipotle with a bowl that can barely close because of how much they stuffed it and food is pretty decent. Compare that to the local chipotle next to the university where I live and you see a huge drop, food is barely cooked and they treat you like Oliver Twist when you ask them to not be cheap and put an actual scope of rice instead of the half scope they just did.
