Wendy’s Namesake Regret Revealed

The real life Wendy actually got a serious apology from her dad for naming the burger chain after

her. Dave Thomas told his daughter right before he died that he regretted the

decision because it put way too much pressure on her growing up. He admitted he should

have just named the restaurant Dave’s. She says people assume she sits on a pot of gold,

but really she just inherited a lifetime of heavy responsibility.
