Wendy’s To Open On Brighton Beach Avenue – Congratulations, We’ve Officially Made It

Fast food fans, perk up. The red-headed wonder Wendy’s is coming to the area. Schlep to Ceasar’s Bay or Bay Ridge no longer; you can soon get your $1 Frosty fix just steps from the Brighton Beach B/Q station.

The burger franchise is slated to open at 621 Brighton Beach Avenue, near the corner of Brighton 7th Street. The spot used to be the home of Brighton King Meats. We’re not sure when they closed, but their latest review on Yelp, posted in June, suggests it was in the past six months.

It may have been in the works for a while. All the latest Department of Buildings filings, mainly for signage, were submitted in December. However, the application for the bulk of the work was approved in April, and includes an application made in January 2014 requesting that the second floor usage be changed to allow a dining establishment. Folks, we could be getting more than just a Wendy’s. We can be getting two floors of Wendy’s.

Why should you be excited about this? I’m the wrong guy to ask. But, hey, three separate sets of tasters crowned Wendy’s the best fast food burger over competition from Five Guys, McD’s, In-and-Out, and more. So, you know. Whatever.
