Almost all the signage is gone, replaced by other signs acknowledging the obvious.
The Wendy’s on Johnson Ferry Road at East Cobb Drive has closed, as part of a larger wave of closings initiated by the fast-food hamburger chain.
Around 5 percent, or roughly 300, Wendy’s stores are in the process of being closed during the first part of 2026. Wendy’s has around 6,000 restaurants across the U.S.
On an earnings call last week, Wendy’s interim CEO Ken Cook said the locations targeted for closure were “consistently underperforming.”
The East Cobb area is now left with three Wendy’s: On Powers Ferry Road, on Roswell Road near East Lake, and on Shallowford Road at Highland Plaza.
