Chicago's Union Station Holds "Claim Your Taste" Event
To celebrate "Claim Your Taste," Wendy's hosted a "lunch party" at Union Station in Chicago today from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. CST.  The public had the opportunity to win prizes on the new greatly expanded Right Price Right Size value menu by participating in a Tasty Trio Bean Bag Toss game.  The Tasty Trio Bean Bag Toss brought the new Right Price Right Size Menu flavor cues to life by allowing consumers to engage with the new quirky-named items in a fun and creative manner. 

The History of Wendy's Value Menu
In 1989, Wendy's founder Dave Thomas introduced the Super Value Menu, offering consumers 99-cent menu options that delivered on Wendy's promise of quality and fresh ingredients.  Wendy's was amongst the first in the quick service restaurant industry to have a Super Value Menu, an act that all major chains have since followed. 

A December 2012 HuffPost Food survey revealed that Wendy's was ranked No. 2 out of 130 major national chains for best perceived value.  The survey relied upon more than 1.2 million consumer interviews this year.
