The opening of the expanded Price Center food court takes a big step forward when Wendy’s Old Fashioned Hamburgers serves its last hamburger and Frosty on Wednesday, April 11. The space now occupied by Wendy’s becomes the connecting corridor between the existing food court and the new food court in the Price Center expansion. Although offered a chance to relocate in the new food court, Wendy’s has chosen not to renew its lease. Wendy’s will be missed; it was an anchor restaurant when the Price Center opened in 1989.

Man, you'll probably think I'm crazy but when I heard this I was really bummed. Wendy's fed me like only a mother would during my SD years and this only opens more wounds since I heard of founder Dave Thomas' death. Over the course of 4 years I probably consumed hundreds of 99¢ chicken nuggets, which is probably the equivalent of only one real chicken, and the hooves of other assorted animals probably not yet classified. I'll miss Wendy.
Here are some UCSD photos of the new Price Center expansion:
