Every November, the Wendy’s System dedicates a week to honoring our founder, Dave Thomas, and recommitting to the values he established when opening his first restaurant on November 15, 1969. Dave believed in putting quality into everything we do, treating people with respect, leading with integrity, sharing success, and giving back to our communities. These principles still guide us today, shaping how we serve customers and support each other. Last week, we wrapped up Founder’s Week by dressing like Dave—white shirt and red tie, his signature look. Thank you to our Wendy’s and Quality Supply Chain Co-op, Inc. team members around the world for making this year's celebration truly special!
Good looking crowd.
Such a wonderful tradition honoring Dave Thomas and the values he set for Wendy’s! 🙌 His principles of quality, respect, integrity, and community continue to guide the brand today. Love that you all celebrated by dressing like Dave—such a thoughtful tribute! 👔 #FoundersWeek #WendysValues #LegacyOfExcellence #DaveThomas

One Wendy's!
We loved Dave so much. He held my daughter when she was 2 and ate at my Wendy's in Pompano Beach Fl quite frequently. Lorraine did too. I feel so privileged to have known the man, the legend. Thank you Dave. And thank you Lorraine too.
