Founded in 1960, Hardee’s is a family business. The Carl’s Jr. brand, which competes with Hardee, was founded in 1941. Their co-branded relationship began with the merger of the two restaurants in 1997.

Hardee’s opened its doors in Greenville, North Carolina. After opening its first location, Hardee’s quickly grew in popularity as one of the few drive-through windows in the industry. It wasn’t until recently that Greenville’s restaurant became the first one in the city. After the first Hardee’s opened, the company began franchising its burger stalls.

The company that owns Hardee’s is CKE Restaurants Holdings, Inc. From 1981 to 1987, Hardee’s had been owned by Imasco, a Canadian company. During 1997, CKE purchased Hardee’s and merged it with Carl’s Junior, another subsidiary. When the two fast-food chains merged, CKE co-branded Hardee’s and Carl’s Junior, but has since decided to separate advertising for the two chains.

Around the world, Hardee’s restaurants number nearly 4,000. In addition to having locations in 37 countries, Hardee’s is also found in 44 of the 50 states in the United States. In the southern and midwestern states, most Hardee’s restaurants are located.

Wilber Hardee founded the Hardee’s franchise. In the first restaurant, customers could order burgers at a drive-through window that were of restaurant quality. With his vision, entrepreneurs flocked to the business, eager to become a part of it. Within just five months, Hardee’s had its first franchise owner.

The fast-food chain is named after Wilber Hardee, the man who founded it.

There is no charge for breakfast at Hardee’s until 10:30 a.m. Breakfast is served from 6 a.m. to whatever time your local Hardee’s opens in the morning. There are many popular breakfast items at Hardee’s, such as the Breakfast sliders with eggs, cheese, and sausages or bacon; the Frisco Breakfast Sandwich with eggs, ham, and cheese on fresh sourdough bread; and the Loaded Breakfast Burrito with a generous helping of eggs, bacon, ham, cheese, and salsa.

The Hardee’s lunch menu is available immediately after breakfast ends at 10:30 a.m. Since the lunch and dinner menus have no differences, you can order the same items all day long after breakfast.

As Hardee’s and Carl’s Jr. belong to the same parent company, Hardee’s is called Carl’s Junior. CKE Restaurants Holdings, Inc. attempted to co-brand Hardee’s and CKE Restaurants in 1997 when it acquired Hardee’s. Nonetheless, CKE determined that it was in their best interests to separate the two brands since they appeal to vastly different demographics.
