Ironically, although McDonald's started life as a 'Drive-In' restaurant, they were not the first major chain to see the value in a pick-up window. In fact, founded by Dave Thomas in 1969, began using drive-thru windows in 1971, while McDonald's did not start experimenting with the concept until 1975. Wendy's, thus, is often erroneously given credit as being the first fast-food chain to use drive-thrus. Wendy's grew very quickly, and the use of drive-through windows is often assumed to be the reason this fledgling chain was so tremendously successful.
