Great Falls Tribune:
Wendy’s International has a beef with a franchisee that owns 11 fast-food restaurants in Montana, Oregon and Washington.
The Dublin, Ohio-based corporation last month asked a federal judge for an injunction to keep BZB Enterprises from using its brand.
Wendy’s said in its Jan. 20 complaint that the Havre-based franchisee has ignored demands to comply with Wendy’s standards after food-safety concerns were raised at several of its restaurants.
Wendy’s previously terminated the franchise agreements for six of the restaurants, but BZB Enterprises and the owners named in the lawsuit “boldly continue to operate the restaurants with complete disregard for the critical food safety concerns raised in the audits,” the complaint reads.
