The Wendy's Company

It’s official – Wendy’s has landed in Liverpool, England! Our newest Company-owned UK restaurant is located on a main route connecting Liverpool and Manchester, and it’s the perfect place for travelers and commuters to stop by for our fresh famous food. This highly anticipated drive-thru location features our new Global Next Gen design with a high-capacity kitchen, and it opened with huge crowds and record-breaking sales. We’re excited to bring our iconic signature products, like the Baconator and our world-famous Frosty treat, to a new community of Wendy’s fans.

We’re excited to share that Tingting Li has been promoted to Vice President, International Strategy and Business Development and Meltem Edin has been promoted to Vice President, International Brand & Advertising! As Wendy's International business continues to play a substantial role in accelerating the brand's global growth, strategic business development and marketing are significant growth catalysts. These elevated roles will further enable Wendy’s growth potential, while also providing additional support and resources to international franchisees. Congratulations, Tingting and Meltem!

This summer, we had the privilege of hosting 17 interns, representing schools from across the U.S., both virtually and in-person at our Restaurant Support Center (RSC) in Dublin, Ohio. These talented students have spent their time with us working and partnering with teams across the business to help propel our brand forward. While focusing on individual projects, Wendy’s has also provided them with opportunities to build upon their own skillsets and support one another’s professional growth and development. On National Intern Day, we would like to recognize their hard work and collaboration and thank them for supporting the Wendy’s brand. #nationalinternday #wendys

"As Manager of Wendy’s Customer Care Operations, I support the team that supports our customers. The most important part of my job is to make sure our team of Customer Care Advocates are empowered and have the resources they need to take care of our fans – whether they are looking for information, had a less than perfect Wendy’s experience, or want to pay one of our amazing restaurant teams a compliment. The best part of my job is the satisfaction of resolving a problem or being able to help a customer. That might sound cheesy, but we have some customers call and you can tell they're being genuine – so we need to make things right by them. Whenever I tell someone that I work for Wendy’s, I see this smile in their eyes. It’s almost like they’re thinking, 'I know Wendy’s and you work for Wendy’s. Cool!' That gives me the most pride. Not that long ago, it was just a few other colleagues and me answering the customer service line. But today, with the incredible growth of our brand, I’m proud to see how our team has grown to support it – and I’m especially proud to now lead it! I'm excited about the future of Wendy’s. As we continue grow nationally and globally, my team will be along for the ride to do what’s right for our customers and celebrate all the positive moments!" - Gina Diaz, Manager - Customer Care Operations
