The Wendy's Company operates the Wendy's fast food chain. The company is the #2 hamburger chain in the US behind #1 McDonald's and just in front of #3 chain Burger King. The Wendy's chain consists of nearly 6,500 restaurants in the US and more than 25 other countries. Besides burgers and fries, the restaurants serve chicken sandwiches, wraps, and a variety of salads. Instead of milkshakes, Wendy's serves its famously thick Frosty. Most of the company's locations are franchised, and it generates most of its sales in the US (around 93%). In 2014 the company was purchased by Global Food Retail Group for about $10 million.
