Company Profile
The Wendy's Company operates the Wendy's fast food chain. The company is the #7 hamburger chain in the US behind #1 McDonald's and #5 chain Burger King. The chain consists of about 6,780 Wendy's restaurants, more than 355 of which are owned and operated by the company; the rest are franchised. Nearly all the company's sales are generated in North America (United States and Canada). Besides burgers and fries, the restaurants serve chicken sandwiches, chicken nuggets, chili, baked potatoes, soft drinks, and a variety of salads. Instead of milkshakes, Wendy's serves its famously thick Frosty. Dave Thomas opened the company's first restaurant in Columbus, Ohio in 1969 and named it after his daughter.
