Wendy's
Wendy’s is the third biggest fast food restaurant chain in the world with close to 7,000 locations, although its sales put the brand at number two in the world.

The restaurant’s most popular ad campaign “Where’s the Beef?” originated in the 1980s and has resurfaced in the past year to emphasize the quality and size of the meat. In addition to burgers, Wendy’s also offers up chicken sandwiches, French fries, salads, and desserts like the ice cream-based Frosty. More about the cost of owning a Wendy’s franchise is below.
