Wendyâs International is bringing an additional 170 jobs back to Dublin. The move is part of the hamburger chainâs effort to consolidate its headquarters.  Wendyâs plans to close its Atlanta Restaurant Support Center operations. Wendyâs had previously announced it would move 50 positions from Atlanta. The company decided to relocate the additional positions after the state increased incentives. âWhile this was a difficult decision considering the excellent employees we have in Atlanta, I believe it is important to bring our entire restaurant support center together in one location,â? said Wendyâs President and Chief Executive Officer Emil Brolick in a statement. Todayâs announcement means a total of 220 employees will be added to its Dublin complex. Wendyâs moved some executive offices to Atlanta after the chain was bought by Arbyâs in 2008, eliminating 134 positions in Dublin. But Wendyâs announced earlier this year it was selling off the Arbyâs brand. Wendyâs is renovating its Dublin headquarters at a cost of $11 million.
