Wendy's confirmed to TODAY.com that it has discontinued the Grilled Chicken Sandwich to make way for the new Grilled Chicken Ranch Wrap, which seems to be a dupe of McDonald's discontinued Chicken Wrap Snack Wrap.

Wendy's is yet another fast food restaurant to discontinue its grilled chicken sandwich offering, following McDonald's 2020 lead.

Wendy's: Better Bet Wendy's Grilled Chicken Sandwich boasts only 350 calories, 8 grams of fat, 1.5 grams of saturated fat, and 850 milligrams of sodium. This simple yet satisfying sandwich of grilled chicken, lettuce, and tomato adds tangy honey mustard instead of high-fat mayo -- for a dietitian's delight.

Wendy's left the UK in 2001, citing property costs and other issues that made expansion not possible. The chain, which is known for its square-shaped burgers, will open its first restaurant in Reading on June 2 followed by four more locations, including Oxford and Stratford, later in the year.

After setting up here in the 1980s and 1990s, Wendy's finally departed the UK in 2001. Property costs and overheads were cited as the reason for them closing their restaurants, with the brand saying expansion at the time wasn't possible. Time away from the UK market hasn't dented the burger giant's success, however.
