Wendy's is returning to downtown Vancouver

Dec 4 2025, 6:46 pm

Granville has seen a lot of action when it comes to the fast food scene as of late. Heavy hitters like Jollibee, Popeyes Chicken, and KFC have opened locations along the street, as well as Taco Bell’s first Vancouver location. Plus, Dave’s Hot Chicken recently announced it will be coming to Granville as well. Now, another big name in the fast food game is making its return to downtown Vancouver: Wendy’s.

Signs for a new Wendy’s location have popped up across the street from Holt Renfrew at 574 Granville St., the former home of Pi Co. Pizza.

Currently, signs indicate that it is “Coming Soon,” with no official opening date announced yet.

Once open, this will be the only Wendy’s in the downtown core. It previously operated a location on Alberni Street, which has been closed for years.

This section of Granville has seen a lot of changes recently. In addition to all the fast food spots opening, Meinhardt Fine Foods closed its location in Pacific Centre after over a decade, alongside Take Five Cafe. Aburi Market is set to open a location in the same area soon.

Plus, earlier this year, The Rec Room opened its first three-storey Vancouver location here as well.

This is all ahead of the car-free revival plan for the Granville Strip, which was approved by Vancouver City Council in June.
