About Our Client:

Our small part of the Wendy's story begins in 1996, when our founders opened their first Tim Hortons restaurant in Ontario. With two young children in tow they dedicated themselves to building their new business based on two core values - treating people right and giving back to the community. More than twenty five years later, family values continue to guide our organization.
