Wendy’s was founded in Ohio by Dave Thomas in 1969 and now has more than 7,000 across the world in dozens of countries.
It is famous for its Baconator, Junior Burger and Dave’s Burgers, which it says are never frozen.
In recent weeks, branches have been popping up across the UK in places as diverse as Leeds, Bridlington, Chesterfield, with two in Hull.
Now, their planning agents have submitted plans to change the use of the former TM Lewin clothing store at 3 St Sampsons Square.
The retailer opened there in 2008, but closed during the 2020 pandemic as part of a nationwide closure, with the premises remaining empty ever since.
