Fast food chain restaurant Carl’s Jr is set to open a new store in Hamilton East on September 19 following a six-year hiatus.

The company says its decision to return is a “direct response” to surging demand for convenience food.

The new establishment has been “thoughtfully tailored” to align with the evolving preferences of the community with emphasis placed on delivery and takeaway services.

Brooke Swain, Carl’s Jr brand manager, described this as an “exciting milestone” and added: “The anticipation for the new Carl’s Jr store in Hamilton has been building up, and we’re thrilled to see it come to fruition.”

Customers will be rewarded with an array of promotions, merchandise giveaways and exclusive discount vouchers throughout the day while patrons will also be treated to the ‘Opening Week Special’ throughout the week. For every purchase of a hearty Angus burger from Carl’s Jr, customers will receive an additional one, on the house.
