No surprise: Wendy's for sale

  Share     E-Mail    Discussion (1)     Print Story

Almost two months after announcing a strategic review, the No. 3 hamburger chain, Wendy's International Inc., formally put itself on the menu, for a third time. The Dublin, Ohio-based fast-food chain hired J.P. Morgan as lead adviser and Lehman Brothers Inc. as co-adviser. Of course, while Wendy's issued a press release Monday, all of this is really old news because it was announced in two prior releases, when the company officially announced a strategic review on April 25 and the selection of the banks on May 15. After the initial announcement, Nelson Peltz and buyout firms were listed as likely bidders, according to TheDeal.com's Auction Block database. Perhaps Wendy's is having difficulty finding a bidder interested in taking a bite.—Matthew Wurtzel
