Wendy’s to open 190 restaurants in Italy and Armenia
The brand recently finalised two new franchise agreements.
Wendy’s plans to open 190 restaurants in Italy and Armenia as part of its goal to achieve 70% of its unit growth outside the United States, with the Company expecting to reach 2,000 international restaurants by 2028.
In Italy, Wendy’s signed a franchise agreement with Your Food S.R.L to develop 170 new Wendy's restaurants across Italy through 2035.
The first two Wendy's restaurants in Italy are planned to open mid-year 2026 in Milan.
Meanwhile, in Armenia, Wendy's has signed an exclusive franchise agreement with Wen Restaurant LLC to develop 20 new Wendy's restaurants through 2030, further advancing the brand's footprint in the Europe, Middle East and Africa region.
"These agreements are yet another example of the success of our accelerated growth strategy. With each new partnership, our momentum increases. And the best is yet to come. Wendy's has never been better positioned to scale internationally, and we are proud to partner with Your Food and Wen Restaurant,” E.J. Wunsch, President, International at The Wendy's Company, said.
