- After complaining that he couldn't find a good hamburger in Columbus, Ohio, Dave Thomas opened his own restaurant on November 15, 1969: Wendy's, named after Thomas's 8-year-old daughter. Wendy's quickly caught on, and within less than a decade, had grown into a 1,000-store franchise. In 1989, Thomas took on the role of television spokesman for the company with a series of hugely successful commercials. He died in Florida in 2002. #Biography

Dave would either laugh hysterically or spin in his grave to see the Wendy’s memes today
The Dave Thomas Wendys commercials were the best
I love the fact he served square burgers bc he says he didn’t want to cut any corners .. so simple sweet yet brilliant
That's true
Even though it has been 15 years since you passed but your legacy still lives on and you are still truly missed
Dave's a great guy. We eat at Wendy's in honor of Dave. Never forget him.
My grandfather served with him in Germany. Said he was a great guy! They had similar upbringings and related a lot to one another.
your grandfather was born out of wedlock and adopted with a absent father and mean step mom with mean step siblings?
Yes. My grandfather was born out of wedlock but was never officially adopted by the people he knew as his parents as back then you couldn’t adopt outside your religion. (He was born to Catholics and the family that took him in were Protestant). His mother and father loved him but one of his “siblings” never truly accepted him as his brother. At one point his bio mom who eventually married the guy who got her pregnant with him and they continued to have children. She wanted him to come back and help with the children and his “adoptive” mom basically said over my dead body. So, yes. Very similar upbringings.
Pure genius rip dave...
Dave's a great man. He inspires the world of restaurants like no other. .
The Mr. Rogers of fast food. Thanks for everything, Dave. 🍔😋💖
