Wendy's hints Norfolk restaurant ambitions may not be dead

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 5 Nov, 11:47 · Archive

Wendy's has suggested it may still open a restaurant in Norwich after abandoning one planned site earlier this year.

Wendy's abandoned its planned Hall Road restaurant in Norwich after months of uncertainty, with property agent Roche putting the empty building back on the market. The American chain's second proposed location at Broadland Enterprise Park, near Norwich Airport, has remained in limbo.

Unlike the Hall Road site, Wendy's branding has appeared on signage at Broadland Enterprise Park, but the building shell remains unfitted and the company has given no confirmation of its plans. Now the chain has offered hints that its Norfolk ambitions may not be entirely abandoned.

In an Instagram exchange with a content creator, Wendy's responded to criticism about the delayed opening by saying 'Tiff you know I have been TRYING. We're so sorry but, we'll keep trying we promise!' The official account added in the comments: 'We would never forget about you guys.' Wendy's has not formally confirmed whether the Broadland Enterprise Park restaurant will open.
