It it closed for good? Anyone know anything? Am I going to have to drive across town for a spicy chicken filet now?

The Wendy's spicy chicken sandwich is the best fast food chicken sandwich around.

This plus chilli, plus a frosty is pretty much the nuts for fast food.

Not sure about anything else on their menu though.

Three orders of their 5-piece nuggets was a nice pre-drinking snack for me. I would usually have them all gone before I was even halfway home.

And yes, the spicy chicken sandwich is worth it.

Hope they can get something else in there quickly. The McDonalds up the street was just rebuilt, so they must think there is a market in the West Ames.

West Ames area near HyVee has been in need for a huge renovation here lately. Nice to see McDonalds rebuilt, but with Wallabys moving and no WestCyde Wings, that area is moving downhill fast.

Or just getting rid of the competition for somebody else to step in.

Much of the problem seems to be deferred maintenance and not making improvements, particularly with Wallaby's which may have just been anticipating a move to Somerset.

There is still Indian Delights which I think is a fantastic restaurant.

Wow! That was there 30 years ago -- I lived right up the street.
