Wendy's Co. is suing DavCo Acquisition Holdings LLC and DavCo Restaurants LLC, saying the franchisee refuses to remodel its 152 restaurants and invest in a company-wide point-of-sale system, according to Columbus Business First.

DavCo, a franchisee since 1976, is the company's fourth largest franchisee, with units in Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C.

In a lawsuit filed on Dec. 22, Wendy's alleges DavCo is balking at two company-mandated requirements – remodeling restaurants and installing a common POS system that will allow mobile ordering and payment and system-wide marketing initiatives.
