American institution Wendy’s is planning to open a new branch in Aberdeen.
The burger chain found throughout the USA is eyeing up a location on Union Street, with proposals to spend £450,000 doing up a former sports shop.
It would join other North American favourites like Popeyes and Tim Horton’s, who have both opened new north-east restaurants in the last few years.
What is Wendy’s?
Wendy’s was founded in Ohio in 1969.
It is the world’s third largest burger fast-food chain, with more than 80% of its branches in America.
After a few previous attempts, Wendy’s opened a restaurant in Reading in 2021 as the first part of its latest UK expansion.
Last November, bosses unveiled plans to ramp up its UK portfolio with venues across the nation.

Where would Aberdeen Wendy’s branch open?
Wendy’s wants to refurbish the JD Sports unit on Aberdeen’s Union Street, right next to the Popeye’s fried chicken restaurant.
A building warrant sent to the council indicates this would cost £450,000.
Though the unit is currently occupied, a guide on Our Union Street’s website says “rental offers are welcome” for it.
They add: “This unit would be perfect for a retail business looking for a spacious property in busy spot on Union Street.”
The for the Aberdeen Wendy’s have been submitted by Nottingham-based QSR Projects, which specialises in “quick service restaurants”.
