Wendy’s is a famous fast-food chain that offers delicious food items in the United States with a variety of options to choose from such as hamburgers, chicken sandwiches, and french fries. The company was founded by Dave Thomas on November 15th, 1969 in Columbus Ohio, and has since grown into one of the largest fast-food chains globally with over 6,500.

The founder, Dave Thomas, named the fast-food restaurant after his daughter, Melinda. A bit confusing, right? Melinda usually refers to herself as Wenda, which eventually became Wendy, her nickname now. Even the logo is also based on Melinda’s look which has red braided hair and a freckled face.

Dave Thomas used to cook for Harland Sanders, the founder of KFC. Thomas earned one and a half million dollars and used it to open Wendy’s. His hard work and dedication paid off. Since he had experience working in KFC locations, he already had some ideas about managing a fast food restaurant. He put all of his time and effort to make his company successful, from restaurant remodeling to hundreds of commercials, he did everything to attract his customers. They have been featured in the news and on social media platforms.

Wendy’s is a fast food restaurant that sells burgers, fries, chicken sandwiches, and more. They are also famous for their Frostys which are making 300 million sales per year. Their Frosty is so popular and had developed so many flavors over the past 52 years.

Dave Thomas was inspired by Kewpee Hamburgers from his hometown of Kalamazoo, Michigan. The square beef patties at Wendy’s are made because they give more sense of having meat on every bite on each corner of the burger. It also makes the burger meatier looking. Their squared shape beef patties became an iconic patty burger at Wendy’s.

Wendy’s has been around for centuries and it has found success by staying true to its roots. The fast-food hamburger chain is the third largest hamburger chain in the world and sells about 6 billion hamburgers a year. For decades, Wendy’s has maintained its original menu that includes burgers, fries, drinks, sundaes, and more. It has since grown into an international franchise and created a variety of menus to cater to all locations around the world.

The company also offers healthy options to its customers. They are the ones to first fast-food to introduce a salad bar in the United States. However, in 1988 it was discontinued because it became difficult to maintain and labor intensive. They also entered Asian Markets when they had their first Japan franchise in 1980, then South Korea in 1984, and Hong Kong in 1982.

Today, the company is one of the top fast-food chains in the U.S. They can compete with other fast-food chains including Burger King, Chick Fil A, Mcdonald’s, and more. They have improved their menu items and also a Wendys app and website for their customer to check their food items and their nutritional information.
