Arby's, Wendy's menu merger unlikely
September 11, 2008
Akron Business Journal: The proposed merger of Arby's and Wendy's could create significant behind-the-scenes changes for both companies, but the two restaurant chains are likely to maintain distinct brands in the eyes of consumers, industry experts say.
Triarc Cos., the parent company of Arby's, and Wendy's International are scheduled Monday, Sept. 15, 2008, to tally votes on the proposed merger at their shareholder meetings. Both company boards are backing the deal.
