Calling all Cheese Lovers: Wendy’s Canada Debuts New Grilled Cheese Cheeseburger
For a Limited Time, Pair It with a $1.99 Beverage for the Ultimate Treat
BURLINGTON, ON, May 13, 2025 – Wendy’s® Canada is introducing a NEW menu item – the Grilled Cheese Cheeseburger that will be available for a limited time in restaurants across the country beginning Monday, May 19.
The Grilled Cheese Cheeseburger features a quarter pound* of fresh, never frozen Canadian beef** topped with caramelized onions, creamy mayo, and a melty cheese slice made with Canadian dairy, all served between even more cheese with two grilled cheese sandwiches as buns. A brand first, the Grilled Cheese Cheeseburger is only available at Wendy’s restaurants across Canada and is a unique twist on a classic, designed to deliver maximum flavour and satisfy even the most serious cheese lovers. Whether it’s a mid-day craving or late-night treat, the Grilled Cheese Cheeseburger is available for dine-in, carryout and delivery.
Wendy’s famous fresh, never frozen beef is sourced from farms across Eastern and Western Canada. It takes less than 10 days to deliver a juicy Canadian beef patty from farm to Wendy’s restaurants across the country.
“At Wendy’s, we’re passionate about bringing bold flavours and memorable experiences to our fans and introducing new customers to our fresh, famous food,” said Hayley Kianoff, Manager, International Culinary Innovation, The Wendy's Company. “This year marks 50 years of Wendy’s in Canada, and to celebrate we’re giving Canadians the first taste of our new Grilled Cheese Cheeseburger, which is crafted with cheesy, juicy quality in every single bite.”
And, in anticipation of the summer heat, Wendy’s Canada will offer $1.99 small beverages, including the Frosty Fizz™, Frosty-ccino® and Iced Coffee, from May 26 to June 29. New for this summer, customers can also customize their Frosty-ccino® or Iced Coffees with three flavour additions: vanilla, chocolate or caramel.
The limited-time releases bring together two of Canadians’ favourite cravings—melty grilled cheese and juicy cheeseburgers—paired with a variety of refreshing iced and fizzy drinks at an unbeatable price.
