In Memory Of Our Founders

Carl N. Karcher

1917 - 2008

Margaret M. Karcher

1915 - 2006

On July 17, 1941, Carl N. Karcher and his wife,

Margaret, borrowed $311 against their Plymouth Super Deluxe

to buy a hot dog cart at the corner of Florence and

Central Avenues in Los Angeles.

One cart grew to four, and in less than five years, Carl's

Drive-In Barbeque was opened with hamburgers on the menu.

Founded and built on the principles of quality and service,

Carl's Jr. continues to grow today with the same commitment

to its customers that Carl and Margaret had

when they bought that first hot dog cart.

"The American dream is alive

and well in this country of ours.

I know. I lived it."

-Carl N. Karcher
