Wendy’s Announces Its First Fully Vegan Location—But There’s a Catch

Wendy's has announced its first fully vegan location in Chubbuck, ID, where the menu will focus solely on potatoes. The restaurant will offer a Plain Baked Potato as its only item, with the option to add toppings or upgrade to a meal with fries. Other potato-based innovations like potato nuggets and wedges are also in the works, showcasing Wendy's commitment to simplicity and sustainability in its vegan offerings.

While this may sound like a major change for Wendy's, it's actually an April Fool's joke from VegNews. The editorial team came up with the concept of a vegan, potato-only location as a playful prank. Despite the joke, customers can still enjoy vegan options at Wendy's, or try out their own potato-based creations at home with an air fryer.
