American chain dubbed ‘better than McDonald’s’ to open 100 sites across UK

The first site is opening next month

Californian fast food outlet Carl's Jr is looking to open 100 restaurants over the next four years.

The first site is set to open in Cardiff, Wales in April with a second location in southern England due to open before the summer.

David Moffat, country manager for Carl’s Jr. UK, told the publication: "We’re looking at a sturdy rollout with a target of 100 restaurants plus in four years."

There have been no further details released as to where the other 98 sites will be and no guarantees they will come to fruition.

Carl's Jr. was first founded in 1941 and operates more than 1,000 locations across the US and in 28 other countries.

The chain is known for selling meat and veg-packaged burgers along with breakfast burritos and sandwiches.

Some people have gone as far as saying that the chain is better than the fast food giant that is McDonalds.

One person on X said: "Kinda feel like Carl’s Jr. is better than McDonald’s. Can I get an amen?"

A second echoed the sentiment, saying: "Man listen...Carl's Jr. better than McDonalds..."

Satnam Leihal, chief executive officer for the group, said: "Carl’s Jr.’s international success is a testament to its fantastic food quality and innovative approach.

"We are excited to bring the ‘Eat Like You Mean It’ experience, born in California, to the UK.

"This partnership aligns perfectly with our commitment to delivering exceptional dining experiences."
