Wendy's is undergoing a major rebranding effort to update its image and positioning. This includes introducing a new logo that removes elements from the previous design, remodeling stores with a modernized look and feel, and expanding its menu to include premium food and coffee options. The goals are to appeal to new customers and remain relevant for future growth while still honoring the brand's origins. There is a risk that these changes may not fully align with Wendy's established value proposition of offering quality food at affordable prices. Consumer research and a strategic storytelling approach will be important to guide the transition and ensure the core brand essence is preserved through the rebranding process.
