Why Wendy’s Is Giving Away the Dave’s Single
The burger is named after Wendy’s founder Dave Thomas, who was a veteran himself. Thomas joined the U.S. Army at age 18 and attended the Army’s Cook and Bakers School. While stationed in Germany, he rose to the rank of staff sergeant and helped manage the Enlisted Men’s Club, where he prepared and served meals for as many as 2,000 people a day.
