Wendy's International said on Thursday sales at its company-owned hamburger restaurants open at least 15 months rose 0.2% in the third quarter.
At franchised locations, same-store sales rose 1.3%.
Wendy's , the No. 3 burger chain behind McDonald's and Burger King , has been considering a sale of the company, a recapitalization or another change in strategy as it seeks to improve sales and profits.
