As it is known, the first Wendy's restaurant was opened in Columbus, Ohio on November 15, 1969. By 1985 over 3000 new stores have already been opened. Though this rapid growth didn?t protect Wendy?s from some failures at the mid-80's. However, Dave Thomas tried to rebuild the restaurant until his death.
Wendy's campaign in the North America started on January 9, 1984. The famous line said by Clara Peller quickly entered the American pop culture. Wendy's hamburgers were promoted with very high quality.
The most fabulous item in the whole chain is Wendy's chili. Horrible story is connected with it. The story is about the fingertip, which was found in the bowl with chili by one of the consumers. It occurred later to be a part of this woman acquaintance's finger. Another popular thing is Wendy's frosty dairy desserts, its fresh and never frozen ground beef, and its making of all sandwich items fresh and to order. Very interesting thing is that Wendy's burgers are square, though on round rolls.
There is one else characteristic feature. Unlike most burger chains, Wendy's historically did not serve breakfast. Stores in Puerto Rico were the one exception. Nevertheless, not long ago Wendy's changed their breakfast menu. Now they serve breakfast in many locations.

Wendy's nutrition facts can be found in many online sources. As it is still fast food, we can not say that it is very healthy and is recommended to eat. It is necessary to point out that the quality of Wendy's is very high. The beef, which is used for their hamburgers, is 100% pure ground beef. It is absolutely fresh, not frozen. They also use whole breast fillets in their sandwiches. There are lots of fresh quality options to meet your needs in the menu. For example, salad line-up includes more than 20 types of produce, fruits, and nuts. It is said that all the hamburgers are made right when you order them.

Wendy?s restaurant offers big menu with biggie fries, desserts and beverages for all tastes. Famous Wendy's baked potato contains 590 calories. 306 of them are from fat. It is not very healthy, but can be acceptable from time to time. What really makes Wendy's better than others is their wraps. Wendy's Fresh Stuffed Pitas lead the line-up of all the wrappings. Unfortunately, most fast food chains think that salad is synonymous with iceberg lettuce. Wendy's attitude is principally different. They add carrots, red cabbage, cucumbers, red onion, broccoli, and romaine. The dressing is better to be skipped in this case. One exception is Wendy's classic greek pita with feta cheese.
Fast food industry has developed in recent days. Wendy's as well are continue growing and progressing smoothly.
