DAVE’S LEGACY
Wendy’s was founded by Dave Thomas in 1969 and named after his daughter, Melinda Lou Thomas. Melinda’s older siblings nicknamed her “Wendy”, but it was originally “Winda” since the then 8-year old girl had a little difficulty saying her own name, who knew her adorable childhood moniker would eventually become the name for great- tasting hamburgers?
When Dave opened the first Wendy’s restaurant in Columbus, Ohio, he opened the door to a new standard in quality food. Dave developed an innovative method to prepare made-to-order hamburgers, allowing the staff to quickly serve high quality food on a daily basis. Quality meant everything to Dave, but it was not just about the food. His passion was seen in the way he lived his days, even coining the phrase “Quality is our Recipe’ and making it a part of the Wendy’s way of life.
Today, the number of Wendy’s restaurants worldwide grew to over 6,500. His words “We don’t cut corners on quality “affected everything from the hamburgers to customer service, and the insistence to freshness lives on even after passing in 2002.
So whenever you visit our stores, we hope to remind you of Dave’s legacy to his customers and his dedication to serve honest food made from fresh, natural, high quality ingredients. We do not just do things differently. We do things better.
OUR FOOD
Our customers can rely on getting great-tasting food from all our restaurants. Our hamburgers are always freshly prepared, the salads crisp and fresh, and the chili rich and meaty. The Frosty is rich and creamy, the fries hot and crispy, the chicken tender and flavorful. We make use of ingredients that are the highest quality.
Our hamburgers are made hot and juicy, and served on premium quality buns. Wendy’s hamburgers do not sit under warming lamp. They come off the grill onto the bun and into our customer’s hands.
Our salads are prepared fresh each day in our restaurants with greens, fresh topping served with Thousand Island, Caesar salad or Ranch dressings.
Our Natural-Cut French fries, seasoned with sea salt, are served hot and crispy from the fryer. The list goes on.
Making sure every customer receives the freshest food is who we are. It’s the way we’ve done it from Day One. And it’s the way we always will.
