People looking for a quick burger in Yakima found a couple of restaurants out to lunch. Both Wendy's locations in Yakima abruptly closed their doors this week.

A lot of people are wondering why it happened so fast without notice.

Wendy's corporate office said the owner decided to close the restaurants on his own but could not provide any more details.

If you pull up to your local Wendy's you'll see that the restaurants are closed. One store said they're closed for maintenance while another store in Yakima says they're closed for mechanical problems.

Customers aren't the only ones surprised.

A local employment expert said there has been a rise in food service jobs recently. however, losing two businesses will hurt that trend.
