Wendy’s gave more details on plans to close hundreds of restaurants in the U.S. in an effort to focus on value and boost low sales.

The fast food giant previously reported sales declining 11.3% domestically and confirmed plans to close many locations. The plan is part of Wendy’s ‘Project Fresh’ which was “designed to revitalize the brand, reignite growth, and accelerate profitability.”

Wendy’s will make improvements to some of the struggling stores, which may vary between the addition of new technology and equipment, a transfer of ownership or shutting down the stores entirely. 

Numerous fast food chains have struggled to attract consumers.

Spain, France, and England are currently the leading favorites to reach the semifinals of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, according to the latest odds from FanDuel Sportsbook. The tournament, which kicks off on June 11, will be hosted across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, with the final set for Sunday July 19 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

Teams like Portugal and Germany also feature among the top contenders, while host nation the United States is considered a long shot. Odds will shift as the group stage and knockout rounds unfold, reflecting team performance, injuries, and betting trends.

Star players like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are expected to make their final World Cup appearances, joined by rising stars such as Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham. 

With the World Cup’s expanded field of 48 teams and 104 matches, fans and bettors can expect significant odds movement as results, injuries, and standout performances shape the path to the semifinals and beyond.
