One of Columbia’s favorite hamburger destinations is set to reopen its doors. After being closed for remodeling the past few weeks, the Wendy’s restaurant at 515 U.S. 98 is set to reopen Monday.
The restaurant has been remodeled “using innovative interior and exterior design elements to enhance the Wendy’s guest experience,” the company said in a news release.
“We are incredibly excited and proud of our remodeled restaurant in Columbia, and we think the local residents will just love the new design,” said Brian McDaniel, SVP of Carlisle, franchisee of The Wendy’s Company. “Our commitment to Columbia has never been stronger, and we plan to be an integral part of the community for many, many years to come.”
Building new restaurants and remodeling existing restaurants is part of a multi-year strategy Carlisle has to continue to invigorate the Wendy’s brand experience throughout Mississippi, it said.
Carlisle is a Memphis-based, family founded and operated specialty-hospitality company owning more than 150 Wendy’s restaurants across the Southeast. Carlisle said its operational excellence and leadership have been recognized throughout the years by Wendy’s.
A grand reopening celebration will take place on Monday with an official ribbon cutting event at 10 a.m. Several prizes will be raffled off at the restaurant as part of the celebration.
