Description Wendy's® was founded in 1969 by Dave Thomas in Columbus, Ohio. Dave built his business on the premise, “Quality is our Recipe®,” which remains the guidepost of the Wendy’s system. Wendy’s is best known for its made-to-order square hamburgers, using fresh, never frozen beef*, freshly-prepared salads with hand-chopped lettuce, and other signature items like chili, baked potatoes and the Frosty® dessert. The Wendy’s Company is committed to doing the right thing and making a positive difference in the lives of others. This is most visible through the Company’s support of the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption® and its signature Wendy’s Wonderful Kids® program, which seeks to find loving, forever homes for children waiting in the North American foster care system. Today, Wendy’s and its franchisees employ hundreds of thousands of people across more than 6,700 restaurants worldwide with a vision of becoming the world’s most thriving and beloved restaurant brand.

We believe that spirit and hunger for wanting something better plays no small role in the success we’ve enjoyed at Good Times since opening our first little burger place in Boulder, Colorado back in 1987.
Our goal then, and now, was to make better fast food in every way possible. Using notably better ingredients. Served up hot (or cold, as the case may be with our much-loved frozen custard). And always crave-worthy and delicious.
We must have gotten things right. Not long after opening that single location tucked in the shadow of the legendary flatirons in Boulder, we started sprouting a bunch of other Good Times locations throughout Colorado and Wyoming. We grew. Our reputation grew. But we tried to stay humble in the face of success. That’s a Colorado thing, too.
Today, it’s become a badge of authentic Colorado-ness to know that your favorite burger place is local and real in every way. Hardly traditional. But most certainly a Colorado tradition.
