  4. WENDY’s Dave Thomas Enters the Restaurant Business: 1956 The Wendy's chain was created by R. David "Dave" Thomas, who credited part of his success to his challenging youth. Thomas was born during the depths of the Great Depression in Atlantic City, New Jersey. His early life was punctuated by tragedy. Abandoned at birth, he was adopted by a Michigan couple, Rex and Auleva Thomas. Auleva died when Dave was five years old, and his father was forced to move from state to state seeking work as a handyman. Rex remarried three times and moved his family ten times over the next eight years. Dave Thomas entered the world of work at the age of 12, delivering groceries in Knoxville, Tennessee. He lied about his age to circumvent child labor laws, and worked 12-hour shifts to keep his job. Thomas's adulthood began early. When he was 15, his family moved to Fort Wayne, Indiana, and he started work as a busboy at a local restaurant, the Hobby House. When his family announced another move, Thomas elected to set out on his own, taking a room at the local YMCA. As his work began to demand more time than his education, Thomas gave up on the latter, leaving school after the tenth grade and later enlisting in the army. (Decades later, Thomas would return to high school, receiving his GED in 1993.) Trained as a cook in the military, he returned to a job behind the grill of the Hobby House, where he met Lorraine, a waitress--and his future wife. Thomas entered the restaurant business in earnest in 1956 in partnership with Phil Clauss. Just a few years later, Thomas and Claussmet Colonel Harland Sanders, who offered them Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) franchises. Clauss purchased one for Fort Wayne, and the pair broke into the chicken business. By 1962 Clauss was deep into KFC--he owned four unprofitable franchises in Columbus, Ohio, and needed someone to turn them around. If Thomas could turn the stores' $200,000 deficit into a profit, Clauss promised him a 45 percent share of the Columbus franchises. Against the advice of Colonel Sanders, who had become a mentor, Thomas took the challenge. He cut the menu from 100 items down to just a few--Thomas urged the Colonel to concentrate on chicken alone--improved the chicken "bucket," bartered radio advertising with buckets of chicken, invented KFC's spinning bucket sign, and built four additional locations in less than six years. His earnest, imaginative work paid off; Thomas was promoted to regional operations director of KFC and sold his stake in the Columbus restaurants for $1.5 million in 1968, thereby reaching millionaire status by the age of 35.

  5. Wendy’s Wendy's Born in 1969 Thomas parlayed his windfall into a new venture named after his eight-year-old daughter Melinda Lou, or Wendy, as her brothers and sisters nicknamed her. The first restaurant, which opened on November 15, 1969, was located on Broad Street in downtown Columbus, Ohio. Its menu featured made-to-order hamburgers, "secret recipe" chili, french fries, soft drinks, and the Frosty frozen dessert. Thomas kept the menu simple to save labor costs, remembering his KFC experience. The Wendy's Old Fashioned Hamburgers decor differed from other fast-food joints that abounded with easy-clean vinyl and tiled surfaces. Instead, Thomas put in tiffany-style lamps, bentwood chairs, carpeting, and tabletops embellished with vintage newspaper advertisements. Although his ideas were refreshingly original, some industry experts criticized Thomas's use of expensive fresh beef and noted that the fast-food industry seemed overcrowded. With all the criticism, Thomas hoped only for a local chain that would provide his children with summer jobs.

  6. Wendy’s Wendy's International, Inc. is the operator, developer, and franchiser of the Wendy's restaurant chain, which is the number three hamburger chain in the United States (with a market share of 12.7 percent in 2000), trailing McDonald's (43.1 percent) and Burger King (18.8 percent).

Circumstances behind the Crash of 1920 • Run away speculation • Speculation: actively buying and selling stock to take advantage of short term price changes, a bit like gambling • Speculative Bubble: stock prices rose above true value of the corporation b/c of people’s expectations which like a bubble can grow with increased expectations, 1929 bubble burst. • Black Tuesday- mass week of selling culminated on Oct. 29, 1929- one of greatest one-day losses • Led to the Great Depression, bank runs, massive unemployment and a disruption to the circular flow model
