History
After finding success with a series of hot dog stands, Carl Karcher opened the first Carl's Drive-In Barbecue in Anaheim, California, in 1941. The company expanded over the following decades and went public in 1981. Karcher died in January 2008. Since his death CKE Restaurants has announced plans to expand Carl's Jr. to several more U.S. States. The chain has nearly 4,000 locations.Don't Bother Me, I'm Advertising
Since the late 20th century, Carl's Jr. has aired a series of controversial advertisements. In 2005, a scantily-clad Paris Hilton appeared in a commercial eating a "Spicy BBQ Six Dollar Burger" while climbing on and around a car. The spot instigated protests from several groups advocating family values on television. In 2006, several feminist groups were angered at a commercial where Dr. 90210 recommends breast enlargement to a chicken.
