Wendy's Launches Famous Burger Patties in Grocery Stores—But Fans Have Questions

If you spend enough time on FoodTok as I am lately, you may have come across some rather interesting news about Wendy's. It appears fans of the fast-food chain are starting to spot Wendy's beef patties being sold in grocery stores. It's the kind of thing that would make anyone do a double take. And because the few images out there all look more or less the same, it's making some folks wonder if it's really legit. I reached out to Wendy's Corporate for verification and yes, it's true. Wendy's has just released new all-beef patties in select Kroger (and King Soopers—also owned by Krogers) stores in just two cities in the U.S., and they are keeping everything else pretty hush hush. When I asked for more details, a spokesperson offered a canned response about the Dave Thomas empire 'pursuing opportunities to bring (their) fresh, famous food to customers in new and exciting ways.' That might also be alluding to the fact that the brand rolled out their chili in stores sometime last year. Related: @snackolater actually reviewed that last year, though, and said it wasn't exactly comparable to their in-store chili. Could that mean the same goes for the in-store burgers? As of now, the only real information I can offer is that the patties are being sold in 1 pound four-packs and are only available in Columbus, OH and Denver, CO. Also, it's important to note that Wendy's has long prided itself on using 'fresh, never frozen' beef for its burgers, and the in-store burgers are also technically fresh, as you can see from @juicyhoneycc's TikTok below. The same person also made a different TikTok where she showed followers how she bought and prepared the patty herself. Curious folks in the comments have since asked her to offer more insight ('How do they taste?' asked one, 'What you rate them 0/10 ⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️' asked another), but so far they haven't replied. It's a missed opportunity given that no one's actually sharing what they think of these so far. Up Next:
