The restaurant has announced a master franchise agreement with Nevada Russia Franchising Company LLC to further expand Carl’s Jr.’s presence in the Russian Federation.
The newly signed partnership marks an extension of CKE Restaurants’ international growth plans, following the opening of its 1000th international restaurant in Spain earlier this year. This partnership intends to bring over 300 restaurants to Russia during the initial term of agreement.
Nevada Russia Franchising Company (NRFC) is a group that has extensive restaurant industry experience throughout Russia and therefore is the ideal partner to grow the brand’s footprint in the region.
“As CKE continues to expand the Carl’s Jr. brand around the world, we are always encouraged to find new partners like NRFC,” said Mike Woida, President of CKE International. “The Russian Federation is an exciting growth market for QSR and although we currently have a relatively small presence with Carl’s Jr., we have a tremendously loyal fan base within the communities in which we operate.”
