Wendy's

 From what I have heard, the work being done at the Wendy's location on East Walnut is remodeling the restaurant for a reopening later this year. Hopefully they will be able to staff the location as they did have some problems there under the past management.

Wendy's Really Closed

 The windows at the Wendy's on East Walnut are papered over and all of the exterior signage is gone. In addition a UHaul truck was packed in front of the entrance so imagine items are getting removed from the building.

Wendy's Closed

 Carbondale Wendy's has closed. According to the company website, the closure is temporary but when you do a search on the main website with the 62901 zip code, the closest Wendys to show up is in Herrin, which does not bode well for the future of the Carbondale location

Wendy's Location

It appears that the shuttered Wendy's, located just east of the recently re-located restaurant, may have sold.  The "For Sale" signs have been down from the building for over a month.  Here's hoping that something goes in there that doesn't require a special uses permit and the approval of city council.

New Wendy's

Looks as if the new Wendy's is open on East Walnut. That got put together really quickly. Of course, it does leave an empty shell of a building there looking for a tenant.  That section of East Walnut used to play home to several fast food restaurants, all located within one block of each other, Popeye's, Taco Bell and another whose name escapes me.  Used to sit where the O"Reilly's Automotive stands now.
