Summary
13 Wendy’s locations in Massachusetts will keep operating as Meritage Hospitality Group moves through a voluntary Chapter 11 restructuring.
Meritage said the bankruptcy is meant to rebalance its finances while maintaining normal restaurant operations during the court process.
60 stores were slated for closure in May as the Grand Rapids, Michigan-based franchisee tried to improve performance across its more than 300 restaurants in 15 states.
Earlier court filings showed the pressure behind the move: Meritage posted a $31.5 million net loss in 2025 after an $8 million profit in 2024, with revenue down 7.6%.
