Wendys Burger chain opening in Ireland

Like we need it, more shyte.

.

I thought Wendys filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy last year or the year before in the states?

I ate there out in America years ago. It’s better than McDonalds anyway imo.

Lets hope its better than Whammy Burger, was never the same after William Foster visited.

I remember one in Cork too.

Many there were not "offical" Wendy's

More likely a journo that doesn't remember. Article even mentions the Irish arm opening in 1981 but inaccurately claims it never traded.

Was ~1985 when they did actual open. Appalling time to start a new hospitality business in Ireland.

There was one in Rathnew 22 years ago. I used to get a bendy burger there.

That's Wimpy, not Wendys, you're thinking of

Applegreen's in-store places were Wimpy before they got a Burger King franchise in ~2010 or so.

Wendys were gone more like 32 years ago.

There were a few other well known American brands in Dublin at that time, which disappeared here, but are still going strong in the US. Baskin-Robbins ice-cream, and 7-eleven convenience stores are two I recall. It must have been a brutal time to open up here though. Maybe they were targeting all the emigrants before they left home …😉

Lived in N.America for over a decade and went there once. Didn’t care for it. Doubt it will do well here and it’s not better than MCD or BK in my opinion

Its one step below dog food

Did Burgerland in Baggot street change to Wendy's for a short while? And then change to New York New York?

1985-88 type of time

(Its now a cafe called Ethos)

Wendys, Wimpys and Mandys were 3 different companies as far as I remember.

Mandy's was on Patrick Street/Daunts Square in Cork city centre, never remember a Wendys in Cork and Wimpys was an english chain I think, they deffo had a restaurant attached to a garage somewhere between Charleville and Bruff back in the day.

Garbage and Irish people are fat enough as it is. Definitely not something to welcome.
