Hey Wendy's -- Your customers are getting injured and killed in your restaurants. Where is your national program to upgrade the safety of your storefronts?
Here is just the BASIC list of vehicle-into-restaurant crashes at Wendy's in 2015. These do not include parking lot accidents, simple building scrapes, or drive thru lane mishaps; these are crashes where the vehicle broke the envelope of the building and caused damages and/or injuries. In at least one case, a customer was killed.
February 17th Key Largo Florida Injuries
February 19th Bayonne New Jersey Fatality
February 20th Las Vegas Nevada
April 17th Terre Haute Indiana Injuries
June 16th Paramus New Jersey Injuries
August 18th Jacksonville Florida
September 3rd Paramus New Jersey Injuries SECOND CRASH IN 11 WEEKS!
September 4th Troy Ohio
November 3rd Chantilly Virginia Injuries
One common element is these eight different sites is that the storefronts are unprotected, and a review of all eight of the sites listed above shows that most have nose-in parking and a lack of safety barriers installed. Seeing the number of crashes and injuries so far this year, you would think that Wendy's would understand the need to take corrective action in the design of parking lots, the layout of new stores, and require the addition of simple barriers in vulnerable areas. You would think that -- but unfortunately you would be wrong. Here are some photos of NEWLY REMODELED OR NEWLY BUILT RESTAURANTS which as you can see continue the vulnerabilities that death and injury and repetition have already exposed.

Wendy's YOU ARE ON NOTICE as a result of more than 100 accidents since 2012 -- persisting in poor design, poor layout, and the lack of safety barriers at your restaurants have resulted in deaths and injuries to your patrons and employees. Wendy's risk managers -- at what point do the costs of doing the wrong thing finally result in your company doing the right thing?
