Franchise talks
Bloomberg reports that Carl's Jr. parent company CKE Restaurants Inc. is talking with its franchisees about incentives to keep building Carl's Jr. and Hardee's restaurants amid the deepening U.S. recession. One suggestion is to phase-in royalty payments, but a specific plan hasn't been determined.
