New York CNN —Wendy’s is closing 140 restaurants in the coming months, the fast food chain announced this week. But the company said it would open an equal number of new locations in areas it believes can generate better business for Wendy’s. “Overall, Wendy’s system is incredibly healthy.”This round of closures are in addition to 100 closings that Wendy’s announced in May. Despite the rounds of closures, the overall number of Wendy’s, which stands at about 6,000 in the US, isn’t shrinking. Other chains recently announced closures of underperforming locations, including Denny’s and Shake Shack.
