Wendy’s was founded by Dave Thomas in 1969 with the belief that a company should do more than sell a product or service. In addition to the annual Frosty® Key tag and Halloween Frosty® coupon book sales to benefit the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption (DTFA), Premium Beverage customer appreciation sampling is one of the many responsibility initiatives taken by Wendy’s to support the communities they serve by giving something back.
