The fast food chain said it would be replaced by a new restaurant, also in Wexford.

Sunday was the last day of business for the Wendy's restaurant at 10490 Perry Highway in the Wexford flats.

The sign outside announced the restaurant was closing, and promised a new Wendy's would open soon in Wexford.

There had been plans to build the new restaurant at the Bauerle’s Greenhouse on Route 19 and Booker Drive, near the Wexford Plaza. However on Sunday, the greenhouse was still open.

Wendy’s spokesman Denny Lynch noted to the Huffington Post that the new design disposes of the restaurant’s classic red faux-tile roof. There also will be tile or hardwood floors inside the restaurant instead of carpeting and more lounge chairs and cocktail-style tables. 

The Wendy's at 7317 McKnight Road in Ross served its last customer Sunday, July 14.  It has been torn down and will be replaced by a newly designed Wendy's restaurant sometime later this year.
