Ohio Trivia

• What is Ohios state motto?
• Who was Ohios governor during 1822?
• What was the name of the first steamboat to
  travel down the Ohio River?
• What was Ohios population in the year 1840?

"This is a very difficult decision, but the truth
is, we kept it open for sentimental reasons much
longer than we should have," Lynch said. Thomas,
who died in 2002 of liver cancer, opened his
first Wendy's Old Fashioned Hamburgers on Nov.
15, 1969. He named the restaurant after his
8-year-old daughter Melinda Lou, nicknamed Wendy.
He later became a nationally known figure as a
Wendy's pitchman in television commercials. The
original restaurant, a few blocks from the Ohio
State house, is unable to generate sales at night
or on weekends, when government buildings are
closed, Lynch said. The restaurant has no
drive-through window, has limited parking and
soon would have required substantial building
improvements, Lynch said. No sales figures were
released. Thomas knew before he died that his
first restaurant was struggling, Lynch said. "I
guarantee he would support this decision," Lynch
said. "He recognized that a company needs to be
profitable." Employees will be offered jobs at
other locations, Lynch said. The company hasn't
decided whether it will hold a closing
ceremony. Memorabilia will be moved to the
company's corporate offices in Dublin,
Ohio. Wendy's operates about 6,600 restaurants in
the U.S. and abroad.
