The Wendy’s restaurant in north Red Deer appears poised for a move — albeit not far.
On Wednesday, Red Deer’s municipal planning commission approved an application by Urban Systems Ltd. to construct a new building at the site of the 6771 Gaetz Ave. fast-food restaurant. Commission members were told that the existing building will be demolished in favour of a more modern structure.
Wendy’s has operated at the site since 1979.
The new premises will measure 3,770 square feet and have seating for 98. Drive-through service will continue to be available for customers.
The Advocate was unable to speak with a representative of Wendy’s about timelines for the project.
Wendy’s also operates restaurants at 2410 Gaetz Ave. in Red Deer, and in Gasoline Alley.
