Wendy’s

Founded in 1969 by Dave Thomas in Columbus, Ohio, Wendy’s has always been guided by the premise, “Quality Is Our Recipe®.” We are a leading restaurant brand committed to serving fresh, high-quality food, famously offering made-to-order square hamburgers with fresh, never frozen beef, freshly-prepared salads, and beloved signature items like chili, baked potatoes, and the Frosty® dessert. Our mission extends to making a positive difference, embodying a commitment to doing the right thing in everything we do.

Beyond our menu, Wendy’s fosters a culture deeply rooted in community and making a meaningful impact. This commitment shines through our support of the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption® and its Wendy’s Wonderful Kids® program, dedicated to finding loving homes for children in foster care. With over 7,000 restaurants worldwide, we are proud to serve communities globally. We invite you to learn more about our journey to become the world’s most thriving and beloved restaurant brand.
