Questions remain about the logistics of such a move, such aswhere Triarc's new center would go or whether enough direct orsublease space is now available in the market to accommodate thatbig an operation. Triarc representatives will only say they areconsidering their options while working to integrate Wendy'soperations with those of the company's current chain, Arby'sRestaurant Group.

Triarc has 370 personnel at its offices at 1155 Perimeter CenterWest, where the company occupies 134,000 sf or at least one thirdof the 12-story building. Brokers say that building and severalothers in the Perimeter submarket don't have enough current vacancyto accommodate Triarc's proposed consolidation, raising theprospect that it might need to relocate to another part of theAtlanta metropolitan area.

Triarc, which trades on the New York Stock Exchange, disclosedin recent Securities and Exchange Commission filings that it plansto consolidate support services for both Wendy's and Arby's inAtlanta, while maintaining Wendy's longtime headquarters in Dublin,OH. The nation's third-largest quick-service restaurant companywould realize estimated annual savings of $60 million bystreamlining services and eliminating duplicative corporatefunctions.
