When I lived in CA, Carl’s Jr. was everywhere.
It was a true California success story.
Now they’ve pulled up roots from the Golden State and left for good.
California is too expensive, too much bureaucracy and too much congestion.
Who needs it?
“Now they’ve pulled up roots from the Golden State and left for good.”
There are still Carls Jr all over the place.
I am not going to patronize them.
Carl Karcher would be appalled.
My wife and I just got back from a few days vacation in Tennessee. Friendly, civil folks, genuine courtesy everywhere we went. The only thing we didn’t care for was the 9.9% sales tax on everything.
“When I lived in CA, Carl’s Jr. was everywhere.”
They still are everywhere. But after this move by the headquarters, I’m sure we won’t be seeing any new sites popping up. It’s a sad reality of Liberalism here.
You nailed it!
“California is too expensive, too much bureaucracy and too much congestion.”

For a little over a decade Carl’s Jr has been closing older stores versus fighting the bureaucracy needed to keep them open in some California shopping centers/cities. Also, when the employees start acting like owners instead of employees or when cities enact a $15/hour minimum wage.
For awhile the local Carl’s Jr had the Mexican choice of Mexican fast foods. Then they stopped it. None of the employees would tell us why. One day one of their higher up managers was at the store. He told us that a Mexican food store in the shopping center filed a complaint with the city, and the city told them to stop with the Mexican food choices. So rather than waste $’s on legal fees, they just DCed the Mexican Menu choice.
It was a true California success story.
I wonder how long it will take for In and Out Hamburgers to do the same?
My very first job was at Carl’s Jr on Beach Blvd in Buena Park, CA. Loved it. Life was much simpler then. Now I can barely afford to VISIT California.
The Big One cannot hit too soon.
