Former Wendy's Supa Sundaes stores collectively rebranded to Shake Shed & Co in 2018. Photo: NZ Herald / FileShake Shed & Co, which was found to have wrongfully formed in breach of Wendy's Supa Sundaes franchise agreements, has been placed into receivership ending a three-year battle with the ice cream chain's owner. GFRG launched legal action against Cone Enterprises and its director and former Wendy's Supa Sundaes New Zealand master franchise holder Chang Xi in 2018. This came after Xi initiated that the group collectively rebranded Wendy's Supa Sundaes stores to Shake Shed & Co without the permission from the owner. The receivers told a judge earlier this month that they were in negotiations with an overseas party interesting in purchasing the Shake Shed group.
