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 on track to develop 40 new Wendy’s restaurants and re-image 100% of its existing restaurants by the end of 2024.

Home of Taco Tuesday and the craveworthy Potato Oles, Taco John’s started in 1968 as a taco stand in Cheyenne, Wyoming. The restaurant serves taco shells made daily with fresh-cut steak and takes pride in a differentiated and craveable line up of the iconic Potato Oles, tacos, nachos, burritos bowls, quesadillas, and homemade salsa. Taco John’s currently operates and franchises nearly 400 fast-food restaurants in 23 states. Meritage has signed an exclusive 55-store development agreement with Taco John’s that includes additional, exclusive rights to develop more than 200 restaurants.
