Introduction

A Wendy's restaurant has been approved to replace a shuttered Pizza Hut location in the Catskills.

For perspective, per ScrapeHero.com’s most recently-updated location count: There are 6,020 Wendys restaurants in the United States as of July 16, 2024. The state and territory with the most number of Wendys locations in the US is Florida, with 522 restaurants, which is about 9% of all Wendys restaurants in the US.

Let us explore.

Wendy's, 2024

Per a report this week from News10.com, The Yum & Chill Restaurant Group, which currently owns and operates 17 Taco Bells and five Wendy’s between New York and New Jersey, is continuing its expansion in those states as it sets to open four more company-owned restaurants in 2024 and 10 more in 2025.

The breakdown of just how many Taco Bells and how many Wendy's restaurants are represented by those numbers have not been listed in the report.

As excerpted from News10.com: The former Pizza Hut building at 75 Maple Avenue will be vacant no more. The Yum & Chill Restaurant Group had the site plans approved by the Village of Catskill Planning Board to open a Wendy’s in that location.

Due to the early stage of the Wendy's development, no specific or target date has yet been announced for its opening.

Conclusion

This is a developing story. In the event of pertinent updates to this matter, inclusive of other company closings, official announcements of milestone dates, and/or reasons for the sudden Whitehall restaurant closure, I will share them here on NewsBreak.
