When Dave Thomas opened the first Wendy’s restaurant on November 15, 1969, in Columbus, Ohio, Dave didn’t just turn his lifelong dream into reality — he shared it with everyone. Five decades later, they’ve stayed true to Dave’s vision and values on the mission to become the most thriving and beloved restaurant brand.  As a nationally recognized Quick Service Restaurant brand with approximately 7,000 locations, Wendy’s continues to seek new franchise owners to supercharge their efforts, transform markets and unlock new potential.
