This map shows the proposed location of a Wendy’s fast-food restaurant that could be coming to Marble Falls by 2026.
Fast-food burger restaurant Wendy’s could be back in Marble Falls by 2026, following a 10-year hiatus.
A Jan. 7 project details page filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation shows plans for a Wendy’s location at 1409 U.S. 281 North in Marble Falls, an empty lot on the highway sandwiched between Tractor Supply Co. and Sonic. Longtime residents of the Highland Lakes might remember this as the site of the now-closed Rockhopper’s Family Fun Center.
Wendy’s previously had a Marble Falls location at 1309 Mormon Mill Road, next to Office Depot, but it closed in early 2015.
“We would certainly welcome (Wendy’s) to the community,” Marble Falls Economic Development Corp. Executive Director Christian Fletcher told DailyTrib.com. “It is indicative of the growth that we’re seeing in the area.”
The TDLR permit application indicates ground-up construction could begin by May 2025 and be completed by May 2026. This is a private project and plans could change at the owner’s discretion.
Fletcher said the project has been in the making for about two years and the city has been aware for some time of the developer’s desires to bring the burger joint back to the area through talks with site engineers.
“We were aware that they were looking for a site and they landed on one,” he said.

2 thoughts on “Here’s the beef: Wendy’s returning to Marble Falls”
We really don’t need anymore fast food eating joints. What we need are some clean industries that will bring in a younger workforce and entice families to relocate. Perhaps their kids will grow and participate in athletic events and then our athletic teams will no longer be an embarrassment. I’m tired of being everybody’s homecoming game.
Fingers crossed Wendy’s returns! Whataburger has lost my preference – high prices for microscopically thin meat and horrible parking lot.
