It started with the addition of Great Escape Theatre at the Intersection of Trenton Road and Tiny Town Road, since then new businesses have been attracted to the area. The newest being on June 30th, 2010 with the opening of the Clarksville area’s seventh Wendy’s Restaurant located at 1824 Tiny Town Road.<\/p>\n

The designers of the restaurant planned a return to the casual elegance that Dave Thomas intended for the franchise when he opened the original Wendy’s in Columbus Ohio back in 1969. Their newest restaurant features warm earth tones, a carpeted dining room, tiled floors, and textured two toned walls, frosted glass partitions, tin roofed ceilings in the restrooms, and the Dave Thomas memorial wall. There is a nice comfortable atmosphere which you can feel right away when you step into the dining room.<\/p>\n

Wendy’s has been setting standards for fast food restaurants since their inception. In 1970 with the opening of their second store they introduced one of the first drive-through windows featuring a separate grill, beverage, and sandwich station. According to the English language Wikipedia, \u201cWendy’s crafted the formula for drive-thru operations that made it a staple in the fast food industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked about the Riverside Drive Wendy’s Restaurant which is still closed after the Great Flood of 2010, Daube stated they were still in talks with the property owner which has delayed the renovation and re-opening. However when they re-open the store would be totally renovated featuring a look similar to their new location on Tiny Town Road.<\/p>\n

When their Riverside Drive location was closed after the May 2010 flooding, not one single employee was laid off, every one of their employees were relocated to other Wendy’s location in our community.<\/p>\n
