Dave Thomas opened the first Wendy’s restaurant with an unwavering commitment to serving fresh food, at a fair price, and in a comfortable environment. He founded Wendy’s on the premise that Quality Is Our Recipe ® , and the quality our customers expect from every restaurant visit begins long before the produce and ingredients reach the kitchen.
More than 50 years later, we remain committed to the values Dave taught us and believe that doing what’s right for our people, our customers and our planet is the only responsible way to do business.
Respect, equality and fair treatment for our team members, franchisees and partners is a central part of our business. And so is giving something back.
