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 —

Five things about Pittsburgh before matchup vs. FSU

Florida State ended an emotional week after parting ways with head coach Mike Norvell by defeating the Boston College Eagles last Saturday. Now, they'll turn around just six days later and take on the Pittsburgh Panthers in their final road game of the season. Pittsburgh started the year 5-0 with a 2-0 record in the ACC, but they lost three straight games conference games before defeating the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets heading into their bye week. With a 3-3 record in the ACC, Pittsburgh has to win its three remaining games to have a shot at the conference title. FSU doesn't have a chance to play in the ACC championship game, but they do need two wins in their final three games to become bowl-eligible, which makes this game very critical. With that said, here are five things to know about Pittsburgh. Very good home team Pittsburgh has a record of 6-3. Almost all of their wins have been at home, as they've posted a 5-1 record on their field. They've gone 2-1 in the ACC at home, with their only loss being to the North Carolina Tar Heels, which ended their 5-0 start a month ago. Florida State just

ESPN reveals announcers for FSU vs Pittsburgh

The FSU Seminoles are back on the road this week, travelling to play the Pitt Panthers on Friday night. It is FSU's third time this season not playing on Saturday, and ESPN has revealed the announcing crew for the game. Mike Monaco will be the play-by-play announcer, with Jordan Rodgers serving as the color commentator, and Dana Boyle reporting from the sideline at Acrisure Stadium. Unlike FSU, Pitt (6-3, 3-3 ACC) has had plenty of time to prepare for the game. The Panthers were on a bye last week and will look to keep their momentum going after beating the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets back on Oct. 31. The win snapped a three-game losing streak for Pitt, who lost starting quarterback Mason Heintschel the week before the losing streak to a season-ending injury. FSU (4-5, 2-4) is looking to win consecutive road games after losing their previous 12. The Seminoles rallied to beat the Boston College Eagles last week, winning 31-24 to end a three-game losing streak of their own. The game between FSU and Pitt is set to start at 7 p.m. ET and will air nationally on ESPN. FSU is 0-1 on Friday this season, losing to the

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — A strong cold front could send a sharp blast of cold air across Florida this weekend, and the latest model data suggests it may be even colder than first expected. New runs of the ICON and European (ECMWF) models show wind chills in the 30s and 40s for much of the state by Sunday, November 15.
