what does this prove?
i've never been to either

This is actually a breddy gud US balkanization guideline. We can call it the "Burger Balkanization".

>>13174960
Mind-freaking-blown!

Maybe somebody in /biz/ can explain this? Why do companies use different names for the same fucking thing using regional boundaries?

Carl jr was an infamous white supremacist

>>13174960
Civil War 2 will be East vs. West.
I stand firmly and proudly with Hardee's.

>>13175016
That doesn't make any sense but its still hilarious.
I applied to a Hardee's in North Carolina and didn't get hired. I'm still mad.

>tfw grey state

>>13174964
They're the same company but were originally two different brands that merged after starting on each coast. Company Man has a video about it.

>>13174960
carls jr sucks

>>13174960
what happens in the grey part?

>>13175067
That's the part where neither are located, apparently they're not known in the northeast, this is true as I have never seen either of them

>>13175067
Chaos and general lawlessness.

>>13175037
How do you not get hired at a fast food place?
Also, hardee's > Carl's jr

>>13175268
>chaos and gender lawlessness
ftfy

>>13174960
I love talking about Products all day :) My Product is better than yours! Haha :)

>>13175008
Two different companies merged. They use the original names in the areas close to where they started because brand recognition is very important.
Somewhat related: Chuck E Cheese was actually bought out by Showbiz Pizza, but they decided to change all their names to Chuck E Cheese because it was the more widely recognized name.

You think you were making a hilarious joke here, but what you just showed is how deeply ingrained the tranny agenda is in your head. You can't even read "general" without automatically making the connection to "gender". You need to take a step back. Realize what your excessive internet usage is doing to your mind. Step outside for once and breathe the fresh air. Alternatively kill yourself.

>>13175008

Alot of times one was bought by the other but the name stays because of brand recognition.

For me, it's that sweet 8a government money that caused my family to create a sister company and put a black guy in charge.

>>13175067
No one knows, but it's surely spooky.

>>13174960
It's funny because I live in Texas but have family in Louisiana, so when I'm on the highway I see the chains switch

>>13174960
There's 3 Carl's Jr in nyc

>>13175598
Weird since that's usually the west coast chain

>>13175490
haha

>>13175286
>the northwest is just a fenoxo game, overpriced, never updating

>>13175615
not very weird considering the crossover between new york and LA residents/tourists
wouldn’t make sense to put hardees there when only white bumfuckers know the name

>>13175065
Said nobody ever

>>13174960
Hardees for breakfast. Carl's Jr. when you want diarrhea or a white trash gf.

>>13174960
I live in that border area (Oklahoma), and I remember when Hardee's switched to Carl's Jr. exclusively. The initial switch to CJ's meant better hamburgers, but fuck did I hate their sexualized marketing. After a while though, every one I ever visited seemed mismanaged into complete decay. Disgusting facilities, bad food quality, greasy burgers, druggy staff.

Hardee's never seemed to take that same hit in quality over the years whenever I go to Arkansas and have it there, but its current state does not approach how Carl's Jr BTFO literally every other fast food burger in the early to mid 2000's.

tl;dr Carl's Jr 15 years ago>Hardee's now, but Hardee's now>>>>>>>CJ's now

>>13175869
Oh lawd, a fellow Oklahomie

>>13175840
>>13175869
Never been to a Hardee's. I just assumed they were the exact same.

>>13174967
yeah but those restaruants are the same thing. A Waffle House, White Castle, or Pizza Ranch line would make more sense

>>13175869
last time i went to a carl's junior I sat there waiting for my change and the guy never came back - so I never went back.

>>13175977
Like any chain, it's down to the people running it just as much as it is the supply and logistics end of corporate. It just seemed like Carl's Jr really cleaned house when they first took over, then gradually fell into decline as a brand. Hardee's has always been consistent, but again there was something about that CJ's early period that was kind of a fast food renaissance around here of sorts.

>Carl’s jr

>>13175268
The only law in the grey wastes is the ancient law: kill or be killed.

>>13174960
we got a carls jr. last year here in NY
it was prime real estate right across from penn station

it was closed in 3 months. Nobody ate there

>>13174960
>not a single carl's jr in the east
That map is bullshit. They may be outnumbered by hardees but I've definitely seen at least a few.

I've always wondered: why don't they call it Carl Junior's?

>>13177668
Because there was originally Carl's, from which Carl's Jr was a spin off. The guy was called Carl, not Carl Jr.

>>13174960
New England wins again baby!

>>13174960
>U.S. states without either restaurant
How unpatriotic.

>>13177739
>>13177668
What if they introduce a Carl 's Sr.?

>>13177668

>>13177833
That's not how names work. They would have to introduce a Carl's Jr. Jr., at which point the current Carl's Jr. would become just Carl's and Carl's would become Carl's Sr.

>>13174960
They've taken over Delaware, I wonder what stops them from crossing the river to New Jersey

>>13177798
Said nobody ever.

>>13180245
Riddle me this; what is 13 but also half.

>>13175040
Me too

>>13180245
I see they're presence creeping up closer to New Jersey, New England is basically the last bastion of having neither
