ZAGAT VALIDATES WENDY'S® AS THE "REAL" CHOICE IN FAST FOOD

Wendy's Named Top Food and Top Overall

In Zagat's 2010 Fast Food Survey, released this week, Wendy's ranked highly in nine different categories. Wendy's nabbed the coveted Top Food and Top Overall spots among Mega Chains (more than 5,000 locations) and placed second for Healthy Options, Top Facilities, Top Service, Best Value Menu and Best Salads and in the top five for Best Fries and Best Hamburger.

"Our commitment is to provide customers with high quality food made with real, fresh, wholesome ingredients, consistent with our 'Real' brand strategy," says Ken Calwell, chief marketing officer for Wendy's. "It's truly rewarding to see that Zagat acknowledges these efforts - from our new premium Applewood Smoked Bacon to our totally reinvented premium salad line, Wendy's continues its history of fresh innovation and being a favorite among consumers."

The 2010 Zagat Survey results were comprised of 6,518 survey participants who collectively rated 97 major fast food chains and 39 full service chains. Since its 1979 launch, Zagat Survey has become the world's most trusted source to help consumers make informed decisions about restaurants, nightspots, hotels, attractions and other leisure activities.
