A west-side Wendy’s shop is getting a makeover.
After buying the land it was previously leasing at 1602 W. St. Mary’s Road, TriWest Restaurants LLC began upgrades.
The 36,154-square-foot parcel was bought for $950,000 and a $200,000 tenant-improvement permit was issued for the fix-ups.
Upon completion, customers will find open dining areas with multiple seating options, including private booths, lounge seating and a Wi-Fi bar.
A touch-screen, self-serve fountain will have more than 100 beverages.
A grand reopening will be held June 3, beginning at 10 a.m. and small Frosty frozen desserts will be 50 cents all day. The first 25 guests will get a free combo meal.
