A CULT fast food chain that “blows McDonald’s out of the water” plans to open 400 outlets.
With more than 30 branches in the UK, the chain is now looking to expand into the North, Midlands, South East, South West and London.

Burger joint Wendy’s is already a hit in the US with more than 6,000 restaurants.
And Brits will now see new locations in Newcastle, Rutland, Colchester, West London and six more locations in the South West that have yet to be announced.
Through a massive expansion, Wendy’s aims to convince Britons to ditch their usual Maccies or Burger King, according to its UK chief executive.
Michael Clarke said: “With more than 30 restaurants already open, these plans reflect our ambition to expand to 400 locations across the country, enabling more people to enjoy our food.
“We’re excited to welcome new team members and invite consumers to cheat their usuals and try Wendy’s.”
The expansion into the South West is thanks to a development agreement with the franchise organization Khidmat Limited.
Its managing director, Farhat Abbas, was equally excited about the move.
He said: “We believe everyone in the UK should have access to Wendy’s food and we’re excited to grow with a brand that has such a loyal following around the world.”
They hope that 120 jobs will be created through the four discovered locations.
Wendy’s is known for its signature square beef patties, spicy chicken sandwich and classic Frosty dessert – which is a mix of milkshake and ice cream.
The chain also offers a popular breakfast menu, with breakfast burgers and sandwiches.
Speaking on Reddit, one fan claimed that the breakfast selection “blows McDonald’s away.”
After a failed UK expansion between the 1980s and early 2000s, Wendy’s returned to the UK in 2021.
It has since launched 34 sites across the country.
Eight sites already opened earlier this year – including Middlesbrough, Liverpool and Sheffield.
News of the latest plans comes after a Wendy’s fan revealed how he managed to skip the queue at the mega eatery in Hull.
And the chain has added four new wraps to its UK menu – Signature Chicken, BBQ Chicken, Curry Mayo and Avocado Chicken.
