A while ago, I thought Wendy's might be disappearing, but there are several in my area.  They just don't seem as common as other fast food places.

N>>> Another fast food burger I like is A&W's Papa Burger.

Yeah, I hadn't eaten at an A&W until maybe 10-15 years ago when they started building more locations - they now have a few in my area.  I usually see them as combined KFC-A&W locations.

I've heard Burgr King might be in some trouble though.  They closed one of the locations close to me (which seemed random), and I've heard they're closing others too.  I think it kinda sucks because I like their burgers, but even the deals in their app aren't very good deals anymore.
