Wendy’s Tests Four New Stores

More than a few customers could be seen mouthing the word, “Wow,” as they walked through the electronic sliding door and gazed into the new prototype Wendy’s restaurant that opened Wednesday in Columbus, Ohio.

The redesign, dubbed “ultra modern,” features clean lines, bright lighting, rich colors and some of the top design concepts in the restaurant and retail industries. It is also among four building styles Wendy’s will test in a multiyear strategy to reinvigorate the brand.

The restaurant and a similar unit nearby that opened two weeks ago “are very different from what our customers are used to,” says David Karam, president of Wendy’s, based in nearby Dublin, Ohio.

“We will learn a lot in the coming months from their comments.”

The chain’s high-quality food has always been a draw for Wendy’s patrons, who are the main reason the company embarked on the redesign, Karam says.

“Frankly, customers told us some of our restaurants are getting dated,” he says. “They also said they’d like to see our fresh food preparation, and they want more comfort in our dining areas.”

The result: The interior features a better view of the kitchen behind the counter and five distinct seating types, including a lounge with a fireplace, booths, two-top tables, high-top tables and a high-top counter with electric outlets to plug in devices.

“A lot of quick-service restaurants are taking a page from the Starbucks book and making the interior a lot more comfortable and homey,” says David Talty, a professor in the School of Hospitality and Tourism Management at Florida International University. “Letting people hang out a little longer pays off in terms of customer frequency.”

Customers also tend to spend more money when they eat in the restaurant, says Bonnie Riggs, restaurant analyst with market research company NPD Group.

“You are more likely to have the side item and beverage you may not have if you drive through or carry out,” she says. “Customers are looking for value, and value is more than price. It’s atmosphere, ambiance, creativity, innovation, and food quality, too.
