STRATEGIC GROWTH

RESTAURANT SERVICE CENTER RELOCATION

In summer 2016, the Restaurant Support Center relocated from their current office space to the all-new Arena Place development located along Ottawa Ave. SW in downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan. Other tenants of the building include Miller Johnson, DoMoreGood and Orion Construction, among other retail tenants. 

WHEELHOUSE KITCHEN & COCKTAILS

The Wheelhouse features a contemporary twist on classic American bistro fare with seasonal recipes inspired by our Chef's ongoing partnership with local suppliers. The disctinctive menu is complemented by a list of artisan cocktails, select wines and Michigan craft brews. Situated in the heart of downtown Grand Rapids, the restaurant is as lively as its setting in the Arena Place district. The multi-faceted concept is your neighborhood "go-to" for leisure or business. The large bar and porch hosts over 85 seats, making it the perfect place to unwind after work or enjoy a pre-concert cocktail. Additionally, the versatility of the dining room provides a relaxing space for an intimate dinner, featuring a menu that appeals to the foodie in all of us. 

IMAGE ACTIVATION & ACQUISITIONS

By June 2016, the Company has completed 18 Wendy's Image Activation restaurant remodels. Each remodel features bold, sleek, ultra-modern designs that enhance the guest experience. Other than satisfying consumer needs, these restaurants show sustained sales increases of over 25%. In addition to the Image Activation remodels and growth, the Company is also undergoing two acquisitions in Oklahoma City consisting of 18 Wendy's restaurants.
