NPC, which also operates Wendy's locations, said Friday that it has agreed to accept the bid and will seek approval from the bankruptcy court. The deal would give Flynn, the largest restaurant franchisee in the United States, control of NPC's 1,300 Pizza Hut and Wendy's restaurants and its shared services assets. Pizza Hut and Taco Bell are both owned by Yum Brands. Because of the number of locations up for sale, the outcome of the auction could have a drastic impact on Pizza Hut and Wendy's U.S. businesses.

The Breakfast Baconator and Seasoned Potatoes are part of the breakfast menu at Wendy's restaurants on March 2, 2020 in New York City. Wendy's has become the rare restaurant company to lure customers to its restaurants for breakfast even during the coronavirus pandemic. For fast-food restaurants, on the other hand, the abrupt transition has dragged down breakfast sales, even as their broader business recovers quickly. Reduced competition from Taco Bell and higher spending on marketing to boost awareness could be helping Wendy's breakfast sales. Despite Wendy's breakfast success, shares of the company were down more than 4% in afternoon trading after it fell short of analysts' revenue estimates.

Remember Wendy’s ad campaign “Where’s the beef?”Well, now the fast-food giant is asking that question for real. One in five Wendy's is out of beef, as the nation faces a meat shortage sparked by the coronavirus pandemic. Wendy's is more exposed to the shortage because of its reliance on fresh beef compared with its competitors. The company said supply levels have been tight and some menu items might be “temporarily limited at some restaurants in this current environment.”The reason for the meat shortage is that many suppliers have temporarily shuttered factories due to employees contracting coronavirus.

Including the draw down of $120 million, Wendy's has about $340 million in cash.

DUBLIN, OHIO -- In a crowded field of competition, Wendy's strategy to win over breakfast customers includes spending big on advertising and poking fun at rivals. Within the fast-food industry, breakfast is the only meal that is seeing more customers return to restaurants compared to a year ago. Breakfast accounted for 16% of fast-food chains' traffic in the 12 months ended Nov. 2019, according to data from the NPD Group. Other fast-food chains that serve breakfast are expected to step up their own marketing to compete with Wendy's. McDonald's, which has been trying to reverse weak breakfast traffic trends, started offering a national 2 for $4 promotion Feb. 24 on several of its breakfast sandwiches.

Three prior attempts to serve breakfast nationally over the last three decades failed to move past regional tests. This time around, Wendy's worked with franchisees to construct a simpler menu full of items with broad appeal and a few fun twists. Kurt Kane, Wendy's U.S. President and Chief Commercial Officer, in the Wendy's Innovation Center. Unlike past breakfast iterations, franchisees didn't have to pay for any new equipment.

Wendy's announced Tuesday that it will start serving breakfast nationwide on March 2. "Our crew will be hand-cracking fresh eggs on all our breakfast sandwiches and leaning into the quality ingredients that have long set Wendy's apart from the competition," Wendy's U.S. President Kurt Kane said in a statement. McDonald's introduced two limited-time chicken breakfast sandwiches a week ago as it prepares to defend its market share of the breakfast category from the likes of Wendy's and Chick-fil-A. While Wendy's has failed in its past efforts to take its breakfast nationwide, the chain is investing about $20 million to support its U.S. stores in preparation for the launch. "We're in a much different position as a brand," Wendy's CEO Todd Penegor said in a December interview.

Wendy's foray back into breakfast can be a success without swiping considerable market share from McDonald's, Barclays' analyst Jeffrey Bernstein told CNBC on Friday. "I don't think they necessarily need to beat McDonald's," Bernstein said on "Power Lunch." "Wendy's is fighting a whole lot of players besides McDonald's, so we think the two of them can survive together," he added. Wendy's is launching its breakfast menu in the coming months, investing about $20 million to do so. Wendy's currently offers breakfast in around 300 of its restaurants.

Wendy's focus in 2020 is launching breakfast nationwide after decades of trying and failing. The day after Wendy's announced its breakfast plans in September 2019, its stock plummeted 10%. The fast-food chain has made three attempts over its history to serve breakfast nationwide, starting in the 1980s. Wendy's franchisees will also not have to foot the bill for equipment expenses, which previously could cost as much as $10,000. Wendy's plans to spread the news of its expansion into breakfast with a nationwide ad campaign.

(CNN) - Wendy's has unveiled its full breakfast menu ahead of its launch early next year. Three are on croissants, including two options with eggs (sausage, egg and Swiss cheese or a bacon, egg and Swiss cheese) and and a maple bacon chicken croissant. For starters, Wendy's worked closely with franchises this time around and created a menu that doesn't require new equipment. If all goes well, Wendy's forecast breakfast sales to encompass 10% of its daily sales. Analysts have been skeptical of Wendy's breakfast ambitions because of the costs.

"We have a menu that can compete, a low-investment and a high-return model for our franchise community," Penegor said in a "Mad Money" interview. The breakfast menu includes the Breakfast Baconator, Frosty-ccino and Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit. The Breakfast Baconator is a cousin to Wendy's well-known Baconator burger on the lunch menu substituting eggs for the burger meat. To support the breakfast service, Wendy's will go on a hiring spree, adding 20,000 people to its staff. Wendy's had about $1.59 billion in sales and 59 cents earnings per share in 2018, according to FactSet.

The company said Monday that its taking breakfast nationwide next year with a new menu inspired by its afternoon menu and, obviously, includes a Frosty made for breakfast. Wendy's released a portion of its new breakfast menu. The new offerings announced this week include some of the same items Wendy's currently offers in the 300 stores that sell breakfast. Expanding breakfast to nearly 6,000 stores nationwide will initially cost Wendy's about $20 million. Several of Wendy's competitors have revamped their breakfast menus within the past year to some success.

Breakfast is an important meal for fast food chains. Currently, Wendy's offers breakfast, including a bacon sandwich and a honey butter chicken biscuit, at about 300 locations. Menu innovations have helped boost Wendy's sales. Wendy's is not the only fast food chain focusing on breakfast. Dunkin' has tried out breakfast bowls and sandwiches, and is testing a breakfast sandwich featuring a plant-based sausage in its New York City stores.
