Wendy's built its 2026 pricing around one number: the Biggie Bag. At $5 to $7 depending on the tier it is the most aggressive full-meal bundle any of the big three burger chains runs, and it is the reason the à-la-carte board looks expensive by comparison.
About 95% of U.S. restaurants are franchised, so prices swing by market — California, the Northeast and Hawaii run high, the Midwest and South run low. Figures below are 2026 national averages.
