WFCN –
Fans in Ohio are claiming they have been “priced out” by a family restaurant’s sudden closure due to pricing increases.
The closure of an Ohio Wendy’s has left many wondering if they are being “priced out” of the business.
Approximately eight miles from Columbus, on the grounds of the Whitehall, Ohio property, were signs announcing the Wendy’s permanent closure.
Still, nobody knows for sure why the Ohio store shut down.
According to local NBC affiliate WCMH-TV, a media spokesperson informed the station that staff are being relocated to other Wendy’s restaurants in the area.
The facility will reportedly be available for rent as early as September 1, 2024, according to a commercial real estate firm.
Residents of Whitehall have complained that they are being priced out of their own community.

Something about Wendy’s shutting is just hard to believe, according to one Facebook user.
It’s a blue collar neighborhood, but there aren’t any particularly nearby.
Perhaps the locals just can’t afford Wendy’s prices right now.
“Fast food is becoming incredibly costly,” shared another user.
Plus, all you parents out there! Set it aside. A three-child middle-class family is becoming increasingly unaffordable.
Some, though, have expressed their lack of astonishment at Wendy’s decision to close.
Quite a few people on social media have complained that the cuisine isn’t good anymore.
A user named Five Guys, Panera Bread, Chick-fil-A, and Jersey Mike’s Subs were among the alternative local eateries he would choose.
Their reasoning was that there were other options available to them, so maybe they were sick of Wendy’s.
Just down the way, you’ll find a plethora more.
The fact that consumers are demonstrating a willingness to spend their money elsewhere is not surprising.
This follows a slew of fresh, tempting discounts offered by the fast food giant to its most budget-conscious consumers.
Burger fans can now get their beloved Wendy’s sandwiches for just one cent, according to an announcement made in May by the fast food chain.
In honor of National Burger Day, this campaign was launched.
The chain reintroduced its $3 breakfast combo later that month.
As fast food restaurants try to entice customers with tight budgets, it came after McDonald’s debuted a new $5 menu.
