Wendy's Announces Two New Manatee County Locations

BRADENTON — Wendy’s has announced plans to open two new restaurant locations in Manatee County through a locally owned Wendy’s franchisee. Together, the new restaurants are expected to create approximately 60 new jobs.

Planned locations:
• 12035 US-301 N, Parrish, FL 34219
• 8215 Moccasin Wallow Rd, Palmetto, FL 34221

Both locations are expected to open this month. The new restaurants will feature the brand’s new reimage design, showcasing a sleek, modern look with an optimized layout and advanced technology focused on convenience, speed, and accuracy. Once open, guests will be able to order through the Wendy’s app, delivery services, drive-thru, or inside the restaurant.

“These new locations reflect Wendy’s continued commitment to serving fresh, high-quality food while meeting the needs of fast-growing communities like Manatee County,” said the local Wendy’s Franchisee. “Partnering with CASTO allows us to expand our brand by bringing not one but two new locations packed with our iconic fresh, never frozen beef and fan-favorite menu items to more customers in an efficient environment.”

Wendy’s worked closely with CASTO to bring these developments to life, leveraging their expertise in site selection, development, and delivery. “We’re incredibly proud to collaborate with Wendy’s on these new Manatee County locations,” said Matt Drews, Senior Development Manager at CASTO. “This partnership supports local economic growth, creates jobs, and delivers high-quality dining options to support the demand within the fast-growing community.”

When the restaurants open, guests can enjoy Wendy’s classic hamburgers, Hot & Crispy Fries, and the iconic Frosty, along with the brand’s new Chicken Tenders, made with all-white meat chicken. The menu will also include salads, baked potatoes, and Wendy’s Chili.
