Wendy's, which is the major burger chain in the United States, announced that the company plans to have its branch on autumn,2011. The first branch will be built in Tokyo, and 70 branches are planned to build within 5 years.
Though the price of the menu will be higher than that of major burger companies in Japan, the company serves foods which are worthwhile paying more.
Wendy's once had branches in Japan until December 2009. But the company retreated due to the termination of the contract with the partner company.
