Interesting Fact: Wendy’s hamburgers are square, because founder Dave Thomas claimed he didn’t want to “cut corners”.

History: Wendy’s was founded by Dave Thomas and Robert Barney in 1969 and named after Dave’s 8-year old daughter, Melinda, who had the nickname of “Wendy” (originally “Winda”, stemming from the child’s initial difficulty saying her own name). The corporate headquarters is located in Dublin, Ohio. The first Wendy’s restaurant was opened in Columbus, Ohio on November 15, 1969, and grew rapidly. Today there are over 6700 locations in 33 countries.
