New Wendy’s opens at Beacon Center

The new Wendy’s fast food restaurant at 6634 Richmond Highway opened its doors to customers March 28, according to a company spokesperson.

Originally slated to open in late 2022, the restaurant will hold its official grand opening celebration Apr. 15 with “free food for a year certificates” for the first 100 guests. The restaurant will open at 10:30 a.m. that day, according to a store employee.

The new Wendy's mobile ordering system does not yet work yet, the employee said, so please call before trying to use it.

The new restaurant is owned and operated by Wend American, the fifth largest Wendy’s franchisee, which says it’s “proud to be part of this community” and that it looks forward to serving “great food, done right.”

Another Wendy’s restaurant is located about five miles further south along the corridor at 8700 Richmond Highway in Woodlawn.
