I wish they still had the potato bar too...it was only at a couple Wendy's, but you could put chili, etc on your potato, it was awesome.

I work in accounts recievables for Wendy's so I can give some insight into corporates reasoning. The salad bar initially had decent profit margins of around 17%. In comparison the Chili hovers at 19%, the chicken sandwhich at 24% and the fries at 55% (they are the highest in every restaurant).

However as weeks went on the salad bar started chipping away at the higher profit items, most likely due to it's relative healthiness. This resulted in an estimated decline in net profit of .31-.43%. Consequently, the bar had to be removed.

Hope this answers your question.
