Hardee's gift cards

Hardee's Restaurants LLC is an American fast-food restaurant chain operated by CKE Restaurants Holdings, Inc. ("CKE") with locations primarily in the Southern and Midwestern United States. The company has evolved through several corporate ownerships since its establishment in 1960 in North Carolina. In April 1997, CKE Restaurants Holdings, Inc., the parent company of Carl's Jr., paid $327 million to Montreal-based Imasco Limited for Hardee's. The merger created a chain of 3,828 restaurants – 3,152 Hardee's outlets in 40 states and 10 foreign countries and 676 Carl's Jr. outlets, primarily in California. In June 2018, former CKE CEO Jason Marker announced that Carl's Jr. and Hardee's would become separate brands, claiming that CKE's racy advertising and marketing campaigns were incompatible with a family-oriented chain like Hardee's. In April 2019, Ned Lyerly, a 30-year veteran of the company and formerly president of CKE's International division, was named CEO, replacing Jason Marker. Known originally as Hardee’s Restaurant Company and later as Hardee's Food Systems, the company constructed its headquarters in 1960 at 1405–1625 N Church Street in Rocky Mount, including six buildings with 216,906 square feet, including a six story office building and five single story office and warehouse. The complex was vacated after its acquisition by CKE, with the last executives leaving in 2015.
