WENDY'S IS ON NOTICE -- ALREADY AT LEAST 9 RESTAURANT CRASHES THIS YEAR

11/4/2015

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?
