200th Carl’s Jr.: While attention has been focused on the Carl’s Jr. expansion into China, the parent company has been expanding its domestic franchising, as well.
Carl Karcher Enterprises just opened its 200th franchise unit, in Portland, Ore. The Carl’s Jr. is the company’s seventh outlet in Oregon. The company plans to open five more Carl’s Jr. outlets in Portland within 18 months.
Jay Nuccio, the franchisee in Portland, said he hopes that Carl’s Jr. will be popular with “health-conscious Oregonians.â€
The Portland outlet is the northernmost for the 627-unit chain.
