The fast food chain has opened near Phoenix Retail Park via a partnership with franchisee Square Burgers.
Early this year, the group said it was on track to reach the 50 site milestone in the UK by the end of the year but appears to have fallen just short with its new Scottish site taking it up to 48 locations.
Openings this year have included Birmingham, Wirral, Blackpool, York, Southampton, the Lakeside Shopping Centre, and Spalding.
Founded in Ohio in 1969, Wendy’s returned to the UK market in 2021 having left two decades previously to focus on its North American business.
The group is targeting 150 new restaurants across Europe by 2028.
“We are thrilled to celebrate Wendy’s expansion into Scotland and support our franchisee, Square Burgers, in this new market,” says Michael Clarke, managing director of Europe for The Wendy’s Company.
“This restaurant opening is another example of Wendy’s commitment to meet consumers where they are, while delivering craveable food alongside exceptional hospitality.”
Arron Morley, strategic operations manager at Square Burgers, added: “This new Wendy’s restaurant in Scotland shows our commitment to investing in more communities across the UK, from serving high-quality freshly-prepared food, to creating new local jobs
“We are keen to give the public a taste of what’s in store.”
