Another Wendy's closed: W. Pensacola at Appleyard store is no more

Tallahassee says goodbye to yet another Wendy's storefront. The fast food joint known for its “fresh, never frozen” square burgers, chili, Frosty desserts and more has closed its longtime location at Appleyard Drive and West Pensacola Street. The Walker Plaza shopping center has seen several closures in recent years, with the shuttering of sandwich shop Which Wich as well as Tex-Mex eatery Moe's, leaving locally owned dessert shop More Than Pudding on its own. When placing an order online, a pop-up notification states, "Sorry, unfortunately, this location has closed. Fortunately, you can choose another location and get the same delicious food." The sudden shuttering of Wendy's stores also includes the South Monroe location in September and the Bradfordville location on 3451 Bannerman Road. In late 2025, the Wendy's on Ocala and Pensacola, directly across from the WestEnd Square shopping center, closed. The Wendy’s at 2122 Capital Circle NE also closed. Closures are in line with the company's strategy to close "underperforming units." According to a transcript reported by Investing.com , Wendy's interim CEO and chief financial officer, Ken Cook, announced in an earnings call Nov. 7 that the closure of the underperforming units — up to 360 stores nationwide —

Florida state parks unveil new manatee experiences

The beloved manatee is a Florida icon, and several of our state’s award-winning state parks provide both critical habitat for manatees and educational experiences and programs to help park visitors create connections with these gentle giants. November is Manatee Awareness Month — Former Gov. Bob Graham first made the designation in 1979 — and the Florida State Parks Foundation celebrated the occasion by announcing a new wave of manatee-related resources for four state parks, all of which are no more than a day trip from Tallahassee. The Jacksonville-based Delores Barr Weaver Legacy Funds, a longtime partner of the Foundation, donated $250,000 to help bring these new resources to fruition. “Mrs. Weaver made an incredible investment in Florida’s state parks and manatees,” Florida State Parks Foundation CEO Julia Gill Woodward said. “We are thrilled to see that these projects have come to fruition through her generosity.” Want to check out the new features and experience Florida’s manatees this month? Start down the road in Levy County, where Manatee Springs and Fanning Springs state parks have each received new signage to inform visitors about Florida’s manatees and how to best share our state’s waterways with them.
