Dave Thomas opened the first Wendy’s restaurant with an unwavering commitment to serve fresh food, at a fair price, in a comfortable atmosphere. More than 50 years later, doing the right thing, in the right way, is still what guides the company and our approach to corporate responsibility: Good Done Right.
In 1975 Wendy's of Western VA, Inc. opened its first restaurant on Electric Road across from Tanglewood Mall. We have steadily grown throughout the western portion of Virginia, and today we have 13 restaurants that are striving to deliver the highest standards in quality, service, and cleanliness. Our plans include continuing our steady growth for many years to come.
We also believe that all should enjoy a certain quality of life. Therefore, Wendy's of Western VA recognizes the value of the crew and management as our most important asset, and the key to our continued growth.
