Wendy’s franchise

U.S. locations

U.S. restaurants operating December 28, 2025: 423 company-operated and 5,546 franchised. U.S. territories are in the separate international population.

Worldwide locations

7,397 restaurants worldwide as of December 28, 2025, including franchised and company-owned restaurants and U.S. territories. The older >7,000 observation remains historical. This worldwide observation does not change the separately reported U.S. count.

Average annual revenue

Wendy’s reports $1,984,000 in annual average unit volume for U.S. franchised restaurants in fiscal 2025. It sums weekly average sales from restaurants reporting that week, so the population can change during the year. The source directly publishes an annual AUV for the 52-week year ended December 28, 2025. This proposal scales the disclosed USD-thousands amount; it does not annualize a separately published weekly figure. The issuer calculates franchised AUV by summing the average weekly sales of all franchised restaurants reporting sales during each week. This is not a fixed cohort of restaurants trading for the full year. The source does not disclose an AUV-specific restaurant count, fixed full-year eligibility screen or traditional/nontraditional breakdown. The 5,546 year-end U.S. franchise count is not substituted as the AUV denominator. The separate U.S. company-operated AUV is $2,241.3 thousand and U.S. systemwide AUV is $2,001.3 thousand; neither is blended with the selected franchise row. The 15-month same-restaurant-sales qualification is a different metric and is not assigned to this AUV. The Argentina exclusion labels international/global rows, not the selected U.S. row. These are franchisee-reported restaurant sales, not the franchisor’s consolidated revenue, median sales, profit or owner income. The displayed whole dollars preserve the table’s $100 precision. No traditional/nontraditional split in the U.S. franchise AUV row
