Opportunity to acquire an 11 unit Carl’s Jr. franchise portfolio with strong historical performance, demonstrated growth, and significant scalability potential. This established platform generated $15M in revenue and $858K in adjusted EBITDA (FY2026), reflecting a 5.0× valuation, well within market transaction ranges for QSR franchise portfolios.

The portfolio has experienced consistent top-line growth, increasing from $11.8M in FY2024 to $15.0M in FY2026 (12.6% CAGR), with same-store sales outperforming system averages. Operational enhancements, including extended hours across all locations, have already been implemented and continue to drive revenue gains.

Recent capital improvements further position the portfolio for continued upside. Three locations underwent remodels in FY2024, including a high-performing unit now generating $2.1M in revenue with a 17% EBITDA margin.

The business operates under the well-established Carl’s Jr. brand, part of CKE Restaurants, which includes over 3,800 locations globally and provides strong franchisor support and brand recognition. The portfolio also includes territorial rights, offering a clear path for expansion through additional unit acquisitions.
