After uproar, Wendy's says it won't raise burger prices at peak times

Restaurant chain Wendy’s said Wednesday it will not raise prices for hamburgers and other items at peak times, clarifying recent comments that sparked criticism of the fast-food company.

The chain, a smaller rival to McDonald’s known for similar burger-and-fries fare, said comments by its chief executive two weeks ago had been “misconstrued,” leading to criticism on social media.
