ORLANDO, Fla. and TAMPA, Fla. and FT. MYERS, Fla., Nov. 11, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- On November 15, 1969, the world was forever changed when Dave Thomas founded Wendy's® Old-Fashioned Hamburgers® in Columbus, Ohio. What started as one restaurant now spans the globe with more than 6,700 locations. To celebrate 50 years in business, this Friday, November 15 Wendy's restaurants in Orlando, Tampa and Fort Myers invite customers to their local Wendy's to celebrate its 50th birthday with a free Jr. Birthday Cake Frosty® at participating locations.
And the celebrating doesn't stop there. Wendy's is also thanking all U.S. military veterans and first responders in these three markets on Monday, November 11 by giving them a free small Dave's Single® combo.
"As a veteran and Wendy's employee of 43 years, this week is a special one," says Jack St Clair, a decorated U.S. Air Force Vietnam veteran and VP of Operations for Wendy's franchisee Gold Coast Holdings. "It means a lot to me personally to thank our loyal customers, veterans and first responders. Afterall, Wendy's wouldn't be celebrating 50 years in business without them."
