Wendy'S Co
A quick-service hamburger chain that runs and franchises thousands of restaurants worldwide, known for its made-to-order square burgers made from fresh beef, the Frosty dessert, and a breakfast menu. Founder Dave Thomas opened the first Wendy's in Columbus, Ohio, in 1969 and named it after his daughter Melinda, whose childhood nickname was Wendy. The square patties famously "don't cut corners" — the corners poke out from the round bun so customers can see the fresh beef.
