In response to Obamacare, some franchise owners are planning to cut employee hours to avoid providing health care.
Businesses across the country are attempting to formulate a response to the Affordable Health Care Act, with some business owners and restaurant franchisees saying they will be cutting hours. One of the latest cases is a Wendy's franchisee in Nebraska announcing it would cut employees' hours — affecting roughly 100 employees — to avoid providing health care. Wendy's Corporate, which directly operates stores in Massachusetts, has not discounted cutting employee hours even as they distance themselves from the statement out of Nebraska. "We are still reviewing our approach to the Affordable Care Act, when the employer mandate goes into effect in 2014," Wendy's Corporate Media Contact Bob Bertini told Patch this week. "Our franchisees are …

The Wendy's Corporation has not yet formulated a plan to respond to the Affordable Care Act as a Nebraska franchisee will cut non-managerial positions to 28 hours a week.
Officials from the Wendy's Corporation said they have not formulated a plan to respond to the Affordable Care Act after a Wendy's franchisee in Nebraska announced that they would cut employees' hours to avoid providing health care. "We are still reviewing our approach to the Affordable Care Act, when the employer mandate goes into effect in 2014," said Wendy's Corporate Media Contact Bob Bertini of company-operated restaurants. The company does not provide a breakdown of company and franchise restaurants, said Bertini. In the immediate area, however, the Wendy's Restaurants in Marlborough, Westborough and Southborough are all operated by Wendy's Corporate. Gary Burdette, the Vice President of Operations for the franchise that covers 100 …

This week the Wendy's on Route 20 opened with a design only featured on 10 sites around the country.
Fast food in Marlborough became a little more exclusive this week. The Wendy's on Route 20 opened with a modern design from the outside that is featured on only 10 stores in the country. The goal of the revamped store, from its comfortable seating area to wi-fi bar, is to encourage people to spend time in the restaurant. The variety of seating, from booths to stols to a more relaxed area with a fireplace are all designed to provide a comfortable place to eat and relax. The food will be different too, with bakery snacks and a new coffee line. A new soda machine allows up to 130 flavor combinations to be selected from a fully digital screen. The store opens for business today at 10 a.m. Until then check out the gallery of images from a V.I.P…

The Wendy's on Boston Post Road is being given a complete remodel to be finished by the end of the month.
A curious reader recently asked about the construction at the Wendy's on Route 20 and now we have the answer. A full remodel is being given to this Wendy's according to Kitty Munger, Wendy's Director of Communications. She was sparse on the details, but revealed that the remodel should make the interior the kind of place people will want to spend more time. This will include different kinds of seating as well as a wi-fi bar. “It’s part of a larger rest re-imaging we are doing across the country," said Munger. “It’s going to be a whole new customer experience." The redesign has already taken place among some other Wendy's, but Marlborough will still be among the first 50 or 60 that will be completed, she said. “We have customers who really…

milfordman, I generally go to a site like governing.com for national data comparing states (interestingly, this month highlights Massachusetts and what good shape it is in). Were you aware that Obamacare provides a disincentive for insurance companies to deny coverage, and so one way or another, either through reduced rates, or the rebates mandated by Obamacare, they have to fork over and can't … more ›
