Carl’s Jr. History

The Carl’s Jr. restaurant story started in 1941 when Los Angeles based Carl N. Karcher, together with his wife Margaret, took a $311 loan against their Plymouth vehicle and added it to their life savings of $15 to procure a hot dog cart. Soon afterward, this single cart grew to four and within five years’ time, they already had hamburgers on their menu.

The first Carl’s Jr. outlets were smaller than typical drive-ins and started operations in the 1950s. Today, they have locations all over the West and Southwestern parts of America and are also known for unique menu items like their Six Dollar Burgers. The company attributes its growth to its emphasis on quality, service, and hygiene. They also helped pioneer concepts like self-attendance beverage bars and partial table service.

The Six Dollar Burger concept was first conceived in 2001, marking Carl’s latest advancement in the quick-service food business, as well as confirming the restaurant’s dedication to product innovation and showcasing a desire to fulfill the needs of young, hungry consumers.

History records that on the first day of his fast-food business, Carl N. Karcher made $14.75 in profits. But 70 years later and with a total of 1,200 restaurants under his name, Carl’s Jr has become one of the most renowned eateries in the West for juicy, tasty, charbroiled burgers.

Currently, Carl’s Jr. is making expansions in Australia with plans to launch 300 restaurants within the next 10 years. They also recently introduced chicken salad among their food options. The company is known for running spicy ads. About a year ago, Charlotte McKinney caused a stir after her Carl’s Jr. advertisement went viral. Other world-class models have also appeared in the restaurant’s commercials, such as Angel Sara Sampaio of Victoria’s Secret.

For those who want to open a franchise with the company, note that they allow third-party sources to provide financing to cover various franchising expenses.
