📰 News we're reading
• The reality of Wendy's downsizing may have hit Saginaw County with two sudden closures (mlive.com) — Birch Run’s Wendy’s in the heart of the shopping district has closed permanently, with only a window notice directing customers to the Clio location. The Bridgeport Township Wendy’s also shut down, part of a broader downsizing as the chain trims underperforming Michigan stores.
