At Hardee's®, the Food is the Franchise®. Our best-in-class menu consistently out-delivers the competition. Founded in 1960 by Wilbur Hardee, we have built a reputation as America's premium burger brand with more than 1,910 Hardee's® restaurants worldwide. Hardee's® is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CKE Restaurants, Inc. (NYSE: CKR), the operator of more than 3,140 quick service restaurants in 42 states and 14 countries. We are recruiting an elite group of candidates to develop and operate exclusive Hardee's® franchise territories in Midwestern, Southern and Eastern U.S.
 Hardee's® is focused on constant innovation and a desire to satisfy the tastes of young, hungry consumers through our premium menu and edgy, memorable advertising. We virtually invented the concept of eating out for breakfast with our famous Made from Scratch™ Biscuits. Hardee's® is also known for our line of 1/4-, 1/3-, 1/2- and 2/3-lb. 100% Black Angus beef Thickburgers®. Our popular new Little Thickburgers® - in a smaller, 1/4-lb. size - target burger lovers who want a little less burger but aren't willing to settle for lower quality value menu fare. These gourmet burgers are complemented by our premium Hand-Scooped Ice Cream Shakes & Malts™.
 Hardee's® is a best-in-class franchise opportunity poised for sustained growth. Entrepreneur Magazine recognized Hardee's® outstanding position with a prestigious ranking among the top 3 burger franchise opportunities in their Franchise 500® report.
