Wenarby's? Arbdy's? Arbendy's? Arby's Buys Wendy's for $2.3 Billion
Wendy is totally sobbing into her Frosty right now. The same billionaire company that owns Arby’s finally bought her family's number-three burger chain. Ever since that woman in San Jose supposedly found a finger in her chili, it's all been down hill. According to Dave Thomas' other daughter (not Wendy, but Pam), the family is devastated.

Dave Thomas always reminded me of my dad. I was sad when Dave passed away and feel a little sad now for his family.
I wonder what changes this portends for Wendy's as far as menus, pricing, etc. It will be interesting to see what happens. The Frosty and the Jamocha shake will have to learn to peacefully co-exist as sister brands.

yeah, i'd be really devestated if someone bought my business for $2.3 billion.

You said it Carrie. As Tevye from "Fiddler on the Roof" said when told that money is a curse, "May the Lord smite me with it and may I never recover!".
