Frosty, Burgers, and Fries—what is not to love? On November 15, 1969, Dave Thomas opened his very first Wendy’s® restaurant in Columbus, Ohio. In no time, the quick-service chain became known for its square beef patties, made from fresh beef, and iconic Frosty® desserts. There are more than 6,500 Wendy’s® restaurants currently in operation in the United States and 29 countries and U.S. territories worldwide. Meritage is one of the leading franchises in the nation.
