Carl's Jr.: Difference between revisions

* [[chickenChicken (food)|Chicken]]

Carl's Jr. chains had struggled to gain success in [[Arizona]] and [[Texas]], perhaps diminishing hopes of expansion to other states, though later states like [[Nevada]], [[Oregon]], and [[Washington (state)|Washington]] proved successful. During the 1990s, Karcher and the board of directors began clashing, often publicly, over marketing and business practices, including the chain's attempt at dual branding with such chains as [[The Green Burrito]] and its new advertising campaigns. Karcher was removed as chairman of the company by its board of directors on October 1, 1993.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1993-10-02-mn-41277-story.html |title=Karcher Board Ousts Chairman : Shake-up: Elizabeth Sanders replaces Carl Karcher as battle for control of Anaheim-based Carl's Jr. empire escalates.
