Founded in 1969 in Columbus, Ohio, by Dave Thomas, who named the restaurant after his daughter Melinda "Wendy" Thomas. Positioned against McDonald's and Burger King around fresh, never-frozen beef and made-to-order burgers rather than pre-made assembly-line service, with the square-shaped patty as a deliberate visual point of difference.
