Carl's Jr.

Founded in 1941, Carl's Jr. has been a West Coast favorite for over 80 years, known for our iconic charbroiled burgers. Today, we have more than 1,000 locations across the U.S. and serve 28 countries worldwide. We're committed to serving great food & flavors, including our Angus Thickburgers and the famous Famous Star with Cheese. The history of Carl's Jr. began in the 1940s when Carl Karcher and his wife invested their savings to buy a hot dog cart. Over the decades, the brand expanded significantly, introducing innovative menu items and becoming a leader in the quick-service restaurant industry. From the first two restaurants in Anaheim to over 1,000 locations today, Carl's Jr. has consistently focused on quality and customer satisfaction.
