Morse is best known for being the namesake and mascot of the brand. She uses the name Wendy Thomas in her role as a spokesperson for Wendy's. Early life and educationThomas was born in Columbus, Ohio, the fourth child of Dave Thomas. As a child Morse was unable to pronounce her L's and R's, struggling with her own name Melinda, and so became known by her nickname Wendy (with the pen-pin merger). Then 8-year old Melinda would eventually become the namesake of her father's restaurant Wendy's Old Fashioned Hamburgers, or just "Wendy's" for short.[2] In addition to being the namesake, her likeness was used as the Wendy's logo in the form of a young freckle-faced girl in red braids.[3] Morse graduated from the University of Florida in 1983 with a bachelor's degree in consumer behaviorism.[1] CareerMorse owned several Wendy's restaurants near Dallas, Texas until 1999.[6] After the death of her father Dave Thomas in 2002, Morse and her siblings bought restaurants in her native Columbus area. {{As of|2010|09}}, Morse herself owned or co-owned more than 30 Wendy's stores.[7] In November 2010, she began appearing in Wendy's ads on camera for the first time.[8][9] (Her voice was featured in a 1989 ad giving her father advice from off-camera.)[2] The 2010 ads aired first in Las Vegas, Nevada; Mobile, Alabama; and Virginia Beach, Virginia; test markets before being rolled out nationally.[11] Since April 2012, she has starred in a series of ads for Wendy's called That Wendy's Way, reinforcing the quality values in ingredients, preparation and service her father established.[12][13] She also appeared in the 'Dave's Hot 'N Juicy Cheeseburger' commercial produced by Publicis Groupe's Kaplan Thaler Group.[11][15] References1. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.gainesville.com/news/20070430/fast-food-gator-wendy-thomas-is-proud-of-her-uf-connection|title=Fast food Gator: Wendy Thomas is proud of her UF connection|last=KIRKLAND|first=GARY|access-date=2016-09-15}} Re-run on January 31, 2010.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]2. ^1 {{cite news |first=Karlene |last=Lukovitz |work=Marketing Daily |title=Grown-Up Wendy Stars In Wendy's TV Spots |url=http://www.mediapost.com/publications/?fa=Articles.showArticle&art_aid=139226 |date=November 9, 2010 |accessdate=November 13, 2010}} 3. ^1 {{cite news |agency=Los Angeles Times News Service |work=The Milwaukee Journal |title=The family way figures big in commercial campaigns |pages=1D, 6D |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=sWkaAAAAIBAJ&sjid=YCwEAAAAIBAJ&dq=wendy-thomas&pg=2423%2C251689 |date=September 24, 1989 |accessdate=August 6, 2011}} 4. ^1 2 {{cite news |work=People |title=After 20 Years of Fame, Wendy Thomas Still Relishes Being on a Roll |url=http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20116543,00.html |date=January 15, 1990 |accessdate=August 6, 2011}} 5. ^1 {{cite news |first=David |last=Kiefaber |work=Adweek |title=Wendy Thomas starring in first Wendy's ads |url=http://www.adweek.com/adfreak/wendy-thomas-starring-first-wendys-ads-11947 |date=November 12, 2010 |accessdate=August 6, 2011}} 6. ^1 {{cite news |first=Gianna |last=Englert |work=Capitalist Chicks |title=Woman on Top: Melinda Lou 'Wendy' Thomas |url=http://www.capitalistchicks.com/?q=node/240 |accessdate=August 6, 2011}} 7. ^1 {{cite news |first=Amanda |last=Finnegan |work=Las Vegas Sun |title=Las Vegas to serve as test market for Wendy’s burger line;
