closeCARPINTERIA, CALIF. -- The corporate parent of the Hardee's hamburger chain signed franchise deals to open 25 restaurants in Pakistan.
Under the agreements with CKE Restaurants, the California owner of Hardee's, MDS Foods will open 15 restaurants in Lahore over the next five years, and Global Food will open 10 Hardee's in Karachi over the next four years. There are now 184 Hardee's in nine Middle Eastern countries.
The fast-food chain was founded in Greenville, N.C., in 1960. In 2001, CKE moved its headquarters out of Rocky Mount, but Boddie-Noell Enterprises, the largest Hardee's franchisee, is still based there.
