There is a work truck in the background doing something. It might be loud. I don't know. Um, but we are going to look at this Wendy's and you're going to be impressed. Check out this Wendy's. Originally, the brown roof and awnings that you see were teal and also they had the old Wendy's logo. Um, I will insert some old photos so you can see it. When did they change it over? I think in the past couple of years. I don't think it was too long ago when they changed this, but the building has remained the same. The brick is the same, and it just looks fantastic. Something I want to note about independence is that they have rules about how corporate businesses can look. They have to be brick. They have to be colonial style. And you're going to see the McDonald's, too. Um, another example of what I'm talking about. Actually, the McDonald's is right here in the background. So, as you can see, Independence says if you're going to put a McDonald's or a Wendy's up, it's got to be brick. It's got to be fancy. They have basically zoning laws so that their city doesn't get a bad image. Not bad image, but they just want to be classier than others. Um, even this gas station. Can you see the bricks? I mean, this is the kind of thing I'm talking about. Uh, I think it's awesome. I think that it's a great look, but as you can see, this Wendy's is absolutely amazing. We're going to do an outside tour and then we will be going in. This is Rockside Corners. I remember coming to this strip plaza to get a project done for my graphic design class at the FedEx. And I remember the zoop. I remember when Chipotle came here in like 1999. That menu board actually looks old. Doesn't that menu board look? It does look old. Yeah, that's an old style menu board. I like this. Oh, it smells good. I don't eat fast food, but the the greasy smell does sometimes entice me. It's good to see an open business. I wonder what this place looks like inside, if they've modernized it. We're going to see. All right. [Applause] Check out these columns. Wow. This is freaking awesome. That is That is really the coolest Wendy's. Can I get the door for you? Oh, sorry. Thank you. Oh, definitely have modernized. This is definitely definitely modernized. Why did they remodel it? Uh I don't know. I don't know when it was remodeled. And I'm trying to think. You know what? I I didn't come to this Wendy's a whole lot. Um I more so went to the McDonald's, but I'm trying to remember. Was there an upstairs? I I don't think there was, but they've obviously, you know, made it so that you can't go upstairs. I don't know if you ever could, though. I should know this, but I just didn't frequent the Wendy's that much. Um, if anybody knows, let me know. Every night they hope other kids find good moms and dads too. Helping with helping us find adoptive families. Okay. [Music] So, this is a pretty plain looking Wendy's. I mean, this um tile's nice. It's not terrible, but it's very plain. They could use more design in here. Look at these windows. Yeah, they need they need to put more color in here. They need to They need to do something. It's missing something. The wood booths aren't bad. But all right, let's look at the restrooms. Wait, do you guys see the McDonald's? It's really something. All right, these are not too bad. We'll give them a B. I think they could be a little bit cleaner. There's like some streaks, but it's not terrible. I remember when I cleaned the restrooms at the McDonald's. Also, you can get the nutrition information here in the corner by the restrooms. It's always good to know the nutrition information. You should read labels whenever you can. And I believe places now have to provide this legally. So, I agree with that. They definitely should be providing nutrition information. [Music] What do you guys think of the Wendy's? I know it's been modernized, but it's still very unique. And who knows, maybe one day they will make it more retro again. But for now, this is the ones that we have. And Still a pretty cool Wendy's. All right, guys. What's your opinion on this very fancy upscale Wendy's? I think this is definitely the most unique Wendy's. You don't really see Wendy's trying to be unique. I've seen a few unique McDonald's, but Wendy's, you don't really see them doing that. So, I if you know of a very unique Wendy's, let me know where that is, cuz this is the only one I know. So, hope you guys enjoyed the tour, and I will see you on the next video.
