Wendy’s Frosty Menu and Prices 2026

The Frosty is the most iconic product Wendy’s has ever created. Dave Thomas introduced it when the first Wendy’s opened in Columbus, Ohio in 1969. More than 55 years later, it remains the brand’s most recognized item.

The Frosty is not a milkshake and not quite ice cream. It sits between the two textures, thicker than a shake but softer than scooped ice cream. Wendy’s maintains this consistency through a specific temperature setting that holds the blend at a particular softness. The Classic Chocolate Frosty uses a blend of five different cocoa and dairy flavors for a more complex taste than a standard chocolate shake.

Classic Frosty Sizes and Prices

Size	Price	Calories (Chocolate)
Small	$1.99	190 Cal
Medium	$2.99	310 Cal

Wendy’s History and Background

Wendy’s was founded in Columbus, Ohio in 1969 by Dave Thomas. He named the restaurant after his daughter Wendy. The chain grew on the strength of three core ideas: fresh beef that was never frozen, square burgers to signal the brand’s refusal to cut corners, and the Frosty dessert as a signature treat from day one.

Today Wendy’s operates thousands of locations across the United States and internationally. The company continues to serve millions of customers daily with the same core menu philosophy that Dave Thomas established over five decades ago. See the Wendy’s Hours section for current opening times at your nearest location.

Does Wendy’s Menu Price Vary by Location?

Yes, and in some cases significantly. Wendy’s operates a mix of corporate-owned and franchise-operated restaurants. Each franchise operator sets its own pricing within guidelines from corporate. A Baconator in New York City or Los Angeles typically costs $1.50 to $2.50 more than the same burger at a location in a lower-cost market in the Midwest or South.

Seasonal promotions also affect pricing. The $5 Biggie Bag and Wednesday Nuggets deals are nationally promoted but not always active at every franchise location at the same time. If a deal you saw advertised is not showing at your local Wendy’s, check the app directly or ask at the counter.
