CKE Restaurants Holdings Inc, parent company of Carl's Jr. and Hardee's, announced the opening of its second Carl's Jr. restaurant in Honduras. Located in San Pedro Sula, the two-story restaurant marks the continuation of an exclusive 10-restaurant, five-year development agreement, which went into effect in 2014 between CKE and leading local real estate developer, COHDESA. Two additional Carl's Jr. restaurants will open in Honduras — one in the country's capital of Tegucigalpa — later this year as part of the agreement, according to a company press release.

"Over the last two years, COHDESA has been a valuable partner helping us to establish our footprint in Honduras and contributing to our presence in Central America," explained Ned Lyerly, president, International at CKE. "We're thrilled that our juicy, bigger, better burgers are resonating so well with Hondurans. We look forward to continuing to offer the most premium and innovative menu items in the fast food industry and elevating the overall customer experience with our best-in-class service.

"In 2015, we opened 35 restaurants in Latin America, a region that plays a vital role in driving our overall international growth. We see tremendous potential for our concept and have aggressive development plans in Honduras and other countries across Central America and South America."

"When we opened our first Carl's Jr. restaurant in late 2014, we promised Hondurans premium quality food, friendly customer service and affordable prices, and we're poised to continue to deliver and expand upon that promise by opening three new Carl's Jr. restaurants in 2016 alone," said a COHDESA spokesperson. "Our second location will offer Hondurans — for the first time — the half-pound. Black Angus beef patty so they can truly enjoy our bigger, better burgers. We're also introducing a delicious breakfast menu and can't wait for customers to start their morning with a warm, mouthwatering Made from Scratch Biscuit!"
