There are still a couple of locations around the UK: https://location.wimpy.uk.com/

It's also going strong in South Africa: https://locations.wimpy.co.za/

For anyone nostalgic there is still a Wimpy's burger in Wodonga (Victoria, Australia), I was driving through there last week, and was amazed to see it. It was a good burger and very cheap ($8AUD)

It reminds me of supermacs in Ireland. People love it there but I never did. Their burgers are clammy, bread that falls apart (like burger king's). And dried out pizza slices (under a heat lamp too long) from their subsidiary Papa Joe's.

I've never had a nice meal there. I did eat there sometimes after drinking because they stayed open longer than Mc Donalds. But even drunk I would be disappointed with the food.

I remember eating at The Great American Disaster, in London, in 1973, when I lived in the West End.

It was my favorite restaurant.

Wimpy’s was … wimpy.

I don’t remember McDonald’s at all. The first one I saw, was in the US.

I remember Wimpy from my school days. I have never, and probably will never, eat anything as monstrous as Wimpy's Bender in a bun with cheese.

McDonald's will never replace Wimpy in my heart

As long as you guys don't try to claim you invented the burger, as you do the sandwich, we're all good.

(Spent a few weeks in the UK maybe 10 years ago. Stayed at The Earl of Sandwich's mansion now a hotel.

Tales of his exploits o'sandwich creation abounded.

I wonder how true that is. Bread is from all ages. I'm sure people figured out you could put stuff in between before :)

Shhh, the Ghost of Sandwich may hear you.
