Hardee's

Hardee's is an American fast-food chain founded by Wilber Hardee in Greenville, North Carolina, in 1960, now operated by CKE Restaurants as a sister brand to Carl's Jr. The chain is best known for its charbroiled 100% Black Angus Thickburgers, hand-breaded chicken sandwiches, and its legendary made-from-scratch biscuits, which have anchored its breakfast menu since 1977. Primarily concentrated in the Midwest and South, Hardee's grew to become one of the largest fast-food chains in America by the mid-1980s.
