History

In June 2011, Wenrus Restaurant Group planned to open 192 restaurants in the country by 2020, involving a total investment of $132 million, with a plan to invest $40 million in the first five years. According to Alexandra Boeva, an external spokeswoman for Wenrus, the first 50 restaurants would be opened by 2015.

In August, the first Wendy's restaurant opened in Russia. Wendy's/Arby's International and Wenrus planned to develop 180 restaurants over the next 10 years in Russia. Each restaurant would contain a Wendy's and Arby's.

By July 2014, eight were built and subsequently shut down due to disinterest and lack of resources, according to Wendy's spokesman Bob Bertini.
