Description

Wendys founder, Dave Thomas, named his fast food chain after his daughter, Wendy, in 1969. The brands success exploded, making Wendy the face of the company. Despite the pressure, Wendy Morse, now an adult, feels proud to represent Wendys, even if it wasnt always easy. She and her siblings own several franchises, but she clarifies that the name alone doesnt equate to wealth. Morse remains honored to carry the legacy and work hard to represent the brand well.
