Wendy’s drive-thru restaurant is coming to Exeter

Wendy’s®, the globally-loved quick-service restaurant, is coming to Exeter on 26th February, marking another milestone in the brand’s UK expansion.

To celebrate, the Exeter Wendy’s restaurant team will give away FREE Wendy’s Single burgers to the first 100 customers who arrive at the restaurant before doors open at 10:30am on opening day, giving fans the chance to savour their fresh, made-to-order burger on the house*.

The restaurant also features a drive-thru lane - a nod to Wendy’s invention of the first modern drive-thru back in 1970 - serving its iconic menu on-the-go, from the classic square beef patty burgers to the newly-launched Chicken Biggie Bag Meal.

Michael Clarke, managing director, Europe for The Wendy’s Company said: “We’re excited to bring Exeter its very first Wendy’s drive-thru and become part of the local rhythm, showing up where people live, work and socialise, with crave-worthy food and the welcoming, playful hospitality that sets us apart.” 

Farhat Abbas, Wendy's franchise partner, said: “Opening a Wendy’s drive-thru in Exeter is a milestone for us.

"From day one, we want to give locals a free taste of what’s to come - fresh, high-quality food served with speed and care.

"We’re proud to create new jobs and establish ourselves as a valued part of the Exeter community.”

Fans are encouraged to arrive bright and early on launch day to secure a free Wendy’s Single burger and be one of the first to experience this newest location.
