in #CASE you missed it… Congrats Wendy’s
Today in 1969, the first Wendy's Hamburger restaurant opened.
After complaining that he couldn't find a good hamburger in Columbus, Ohio, Dave Thomas opened his own restaurant on November 15, 1969: Wendy's, named after Thomas' 8-year-old daughter.
Wendy's quickly caught on, and within less than a decade, had grown into a 1,000-store franchise. In 1989, Thomas took on the role of television spokesman for the company with a series of hugely successful commercials.Â
