Wendy’s International Inc. quietly sold its 18-unit Café Express fast-casual chain at the end of July, according to a securities filing by the company.
The No. 3 burger brand sold Baja Fresh Mexican Grill during the fourth quarter of 2006 and Tim Hortons in the third quarter of 2006. Wendy’s executives said they sold the ancillary brands to focus more on Wendy’s.
