That feisty red head is at it again. She’s shaking things up at the Curry Student Center, sending students and faculty alike flocking her curves – the curves of Wendy’s line that is; a line cradling plenty of hungry people in the mood for a quick snack or a late night meal.
Sales have increased 90 percent at Wendy’s and 40 percent it’s neighbor, AFC Sushi and Noodle Bowl, said Director of Operations of the Curry Student Center Bob Grier.
Grier also said Wendy’s has 80 percent more business than Burger King once did, and the business in the student center has gone up a total of 14 percent since Wendy’s was introduced into the student center in September.
Students agree that Wendy’s was an excellent addition.
“I like to eat at Wendy’s because they have quality and variety,” said Greg Smith a freshman English major. He admits to previously spending his cash at Pizza Hut. Alley Rivers, also an English major, used to eat at Burger King until it transformed into Wendy’s.
“I like the taste better,” she said.

“How could I pass? The burgers are the best,” Jackson said.
