Wendy’s, one of the world’s best-known international quick service restaurant (QSR) brands, is entering the Romanian market in 2025 through a franchise partnership with JKC Capital, a Canadian entrepreneurial company.<\/p>\n
The first two restaurants will open in the first half of this year, and by the end of 2025, five units will be open.<\/p>\n
Across its entire portfolio, JKC Capital plans to invest over USD 200 million in Romania and create around 1,500 new jobs over the next 10 years. <\/p>\n
A market study conducted by MKOR Consulting shows that Wendy’s is the second most desirable international fast-food brand. The study also shows that fast-food brands are very popular in Romania, with 94% of Romanians eating fast-food. <\/p>\n
The new Wendy’s restaurants will serve Romanian beef and chicken.<\/p>\n
JKC Capital, the Wendy’s franchise partner in Romania, owns and operates JKC Restaurants, Canada’s fastest-growing family-owned restaurant company founded in 2015 by Kathryn and John Chayka. JKC Restaurants is the largest Wendy’s franchisee in Canada with 61 Wendy’s restaurants in its portfolio. <\/p>\n
