       | > One restaurant that decided to franchise early was The Hobby
       | House in Fort Wayne, Indiana. There, Colonel Sanders befriended
       | head cook Dave Thomas. The seasoned veteran took young Thomas
       | under his wing, providing the novice with sage advice and
       | mentoring him in the ways of the restaurant. Thomas would go on
       | to manage several successful Kentucky Fried Chicken franchises.
       | Later Thomas founded his own franchise, a hamburger chain called
       | Wendy's that has enjoyed some success.
       | 
       | It seems like his life was an unbelievable series of escapades
       | and coincidences.
       | 
       | Though the article didn't mention that he eventually did retire,
       | to suburban Toronto to manage his Canadian franchises that held
       | out for longer with the original quality, and never went back to
       | live in Kentucky.
