New Carl’s Jr. Unit Owned By Founder’s Grandson Sets Sales Record

WELT ONLINE:

For the third time in just seven months, a newly opened Carl’s Jr.® has set a company sales record. The Douglas, Ariz. restaurant, owned and operated by MJKL Enterprises, posted $108,596 in sales in its first week. The previous Carl’s Jr. one-week sales record of $107,638 was set in Jan. of this year in Porterville, Calif, while Marysville, Wash., held the previous record of $105,063 with their Dec. 2008 opening.

Proving that success in the fast food industry runs in the family, the Douglas unit is owned by Jason and Carl LeVecke, grandsons of Carl’s Jr. founder Carl N. Karcher, and CEO and COO of MJKL Enterprises.

“I learned a lot of great things from my Grandfather about business and life in general,” said Jason LeVecke. “Hard work, commitment to family and commitment to community were among the most important things my Grandfather taught me. The
record-setting opening at our Douglas Carl’s Jr. was the perfect combination of all three and far exceeded our expectations.

I’m proud of the outstanding service from our staff, the overwhelming welcome into the Douglas community and knowing that the commitments to success my grandfather instilled in us are still strong throughout the Carl’s Jr. system.”
