Wendy’s history: 

Dave Thomas’s inspired Wendy’s old made burgers by his journeys to Kewpee Hamburgers in his residence community of Kalamazoo, Michigan. Kewpee sold his thick malt shakes and also his square burgers. In 1969, Wendy’s were established by Thomas in Columbus, Ohio. They included square patties with edges that stood out from the sides of the round bun, offering the perception of an abundance of high-quality meat. The place of Columbus, later on, included a Tim Hortons, and as of March 2007, it was closed, after many years of work, due to decreasing sales. John Havlicek, a Basketball celebrity, and an Ohio State College graduate, was amongst Thomas’s earliest capitalists, which ultimately offered Havlicek sufficient revenue stream to retire conveniently.

After the birth of his 4th child, Thomas named the dining establishment the name of this child. Pictures of her were on display screen at the initial Wendy’s dining establishment until it closed. Moreover, the initial Wendy’s franchisee, L.S. Hartzog, authorized a contract for Indianapolis, Indiana, in August 1972. In the same period, Wendy’s broadcast its first TELEVISION commercials locally in Ohio. This collection of ads was entitled “C’mon to Wendy’s” due to the fact that they emphasized Wendy’s prevalence via the “Quality Is Our Recipe” motto and also included an animated Wendy like the one from the business logo design beside dancing burgers.

Now the company is the third-largest hamburger fast-food chain in the world with 6,711 locations.[2]
