I still like Wendy's despite not being the same since their founder, Dave Thomas, went to that great restaurant kitchen in the sky in 2002. Dave Thomas did hundreds of TV commercial spots for his restaurant in his lifetime, which he named for his daughter, Melinda-Lou "Wendy" Thomas, who pronounced her name as "Wenda" as a child. Dave Thomas dreamed of going into the restaurant business as a young kid, and by 1969, after helping Colonel Harland Sanders turn around a few Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants, he founded Wendy's with the money he made, his vision had been realized.
Wendy's restaurant founder Dave Thomas was to the fast food restaurant business what former Chrysler Corporation president Lee Iacocca was to the business of selling cars...
