Triarc is owned by Nelson Peltz, who has helped turn around companies like Heinz and Snapple. Wendy's has been having problems since the death of founder Dave Thomas in 2002. The chain experienced a turnover on ad campaigns like Mr. Wendy and the Red Wig commercials.

The family of Dave Thomas opposes the all-stock deal and wanted Wendy's franchisee David Karam to take over the company. Daughter Pam Thomas Farber says the Triarc deal is devastating news.
