The History of Wendy's Value Menu

In 1989, Wendy's founder Dave Thomas introduced the Super Value Menu, offering consumers 99-cent menu options that delivered on Wendy's promise of quality and fresh ingredients. Wendy's was amongst the first in the quick service restaurant industry to have a Super Value Menu, an act that all major chains have since followed.

A December 2012HuffPost Food survey revealed that Wendy's was ranked No. 2 out of 130 major national chains for best perceived value. The survey relied upon more than 1.2 million consumer interviews this year.
