Global burger chain Carl’s Jr. is set to open a new eatery in Williams Landing this month, which will create around 60 jobs.
The venue will open on Sayers Road, next to the BP. An exact date for the Williams Landing restaurant’s opening is yet to be set.
The burger chain already operates seven stores across the state, including in Altona.
CJ’s QSR Group managing director, Andrew Firn, said: “We are delighted to be bringing Carl’s Jr. to Williams Landing.
“We are excited to be providing 60-plus jobs to local residents, many of whom will be starting their first job.”
CJ’s QSR Group general manager Domit Makhoul said: “We’ve had so much online buzz asking when we were opening Williams Landing, so finally we can announce it’s a December 2020 launch.”
Gaven Needham, Asia Pacific general manager CKE Restaurants – the parent company of Carl’s Jr. – said the company was aiming to open more than 100 restaurants across Australia during the next 10 years.
“We have no doubt that Carl’s Jr. will soon become the ultimate destination for Australian consumers seeking the most premium burger at affordable prices,” he said.
The restaurant chain was founded by Carl N. Karcher, who was born in Ohio during 1917.
In 1941, Carl and his wife Margaret purchased a hot dog cart for $326.
The business grew quickly and in 1945, Carl opened Carl’s Drive-In Barbecue in Anaheim, California.
The company now has thousands of eateries across the world.
