Founded by industry pioneer Carl N. Karcher, Carl's Jr.® restaurants have been a West Coast favorite for more than 60 years. Using $15 in savings and borrowing $311 on their Plymouth automobile, Carl and his wife, Margaret, purchased a single hot dog cart in 1941 in Los Angeles. The Karchers soon grew their small business — eventually focusing their efforts on the Carl’s Jr. brand, one of the first in a new breed of restaurants that today make up the quick-service restaurant industry. With more than 1,000 restaurants, Carl’s Jr. is regarded as the place to go for premium quality, distinctive charbroiled burgers.

Signature menu items include The Six Dollar Burger™ line, the Western Bacon Cheeseburger® and the Super Star® hamburger. Other favorites include charbroiled and crispy chicken sandwiches, entree salads and low-carb selections.
