Wendy's

In 1979, entrepreneurs Geoff Davis and Phil Rogers opened the doors to their first treat business in a South Australian shopping centre. Word soon spread about the tiny store selling delicious ice cream sundaes and treats and, by lunchtime on the opening day, the centre's mains power had blown as the store's machinery struggled to keep up with customer demand. Wendys now has over 250 store across Australia and New Zealand and has grown from a single store operation to a large franchise network.
