Wendy’s biggest franchisee, Meritage Hospitality Group, just filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy—managing 300+ locations across 15 states—blaming the Wendy’s brand’s financial pressure and declining same-store sales. Despite the turmoil, all restaurants will stay open during restructuring as Meritage seeks to stabilize its $10M–$50M balance sheet. Wendy’s itself is a major creditor, owed nearly $25M in deferred fees. This shake-up could ripple through the fast-food giant’s franchise network.
