American burger giant Wendy’s has revealed plans for “hypergrowth” in Australia, plotting to open more than 200 restaurants through the new owner of Pizza Hut’s domestic operations.
On Wednesday, Wendy’s revealed it has chosen US franchise giant Flynn Restaurant Group to launch its Australian wing under an exclusive master franchise agreement.
Under the plan, Flynn Restaurant Group, which already operates 190 Wendy’s locations in North America, will establish local Wendy’s locations from 2025 through to 2034.
The deal will add to Flynn Restaurant Group’s recent expansion in Australia through its acquisition of Pizza Hut Australia, which it agreed to purchase from Allegro in June this year.
The news marks one of the most significant new entries to the Australian quick-service burger market, which is already dotted with local franchises, recent US entrants, and established titans like McDonald’s and Hungry Jack’s.
