Two St. Petersburg eateries debuted over the weekend and are being operated by franchisee Bright Star, CKE reported today. The Russia-based franchisee has an agreement with CKE to open 48 more Carl’s Jr. restaurants in the region over the next eight years.
“This is a dynamic, emerging market with a strong appetite for western food, and the premium hamburgers offered at Carl’s Jr. will be a perfect fit,” said Ned Lyerly, senior vice president of global franchise development for CKE Restaurants in Carpinteria. CKE also has corporate offices in Anaheim.
