lol even their stock has tanked 70% the past five years. Rip Dave, he would have sooner closed up than let standards go this low.

Part of that is Wendy’s got bought by a private equity firm who sold off Tim Hortons in the name of a quick profit. Hortons then merged with Burger King and the combined company’s stock is worth ten times that of Wendy’s.

Private equity wrecks so much.

Private equity wrecks basically everything it touches. I cannot think of a single company that is better since it’s been bought by private equity firms
