Baja Fresh
Baja Fresh Mexican Grill was founded in the ’90s. At some point, the chain had 300 locations across the country. The meals were made with fresh ingredients, and their famous “Salsa Baja” was put on everything. Another significant advantage of this chain was their legendary salsa bar.
At the beginning of the ’00s, Wendy’s bought Baja Fresh, and that’s when the sales began to decline. The company eventually sold the chain to cut their losses, and now there are only 165 locations left.
