Dave built his business on the premise, \u201cQuality is our Recipe\u00ae,\u201d which remains the guidepost of the Wendy\u2019s system. Wendy\u2019s is best known for its made-to-order square hamburgers, using fresh, never frozen beef*, freshly-prepared salads, and other signature items like chili, baked potatoes and the Frosty\u00ae dessert. The Wendy\u2019s Company (Nasdaq: WEN) is committed to doing the right thing and making a positive difference in the lives of others. This is most visible through the Company\u2019s support of the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption\u00ae and its signature Wendy\u2019s Wonderful Kids\u00ae program, which seeks to find a loving, forever home for every child waiting to be adopted from the North American foster care system. Today, Wendy\u2019s and its franchisees employ hundreds of thousands of people across approximately 7,000 restaurants worldwide with a vision of becoming the world\u2019s most thriving and beloved restaurant brand.
