At the close of business on Friday, July 17, the Wendy's at the corner of SSW Loop 323 and Highway 155 permanently closed. The second location on W Front Street may reopen.

No specific reason was given for the sudden closure of this location; whether the decision to close was a corporate or franchise decision remains unknown.
