Carl's Jr. coming to Calgary

Reason enough to live in Calgary ;)



A U.S. fast-food chain known for its gut-busting burger creations and racy commercials featuring scantily clad women eating them is set to start serving up Calgary customers.

Carl’s Jr. is opening up shop next month, according to a call for employees the restaurant posted. The fast food spot has taken over the space at 1140 16th Ave. NW.

With their signature (and registered trademark) thickburgers — in sizes up to 1/2 a pound — and fried side dishes, Carl’s Jr. has made a name for itself when it comes to their creations. They’re also well known for their, well, titillating advertisements that have featured celebrities such as Kate Upton and Paris Hilton dressed in bathing suits eating burgers (or, in the case of one recent ad, clad in nothing at all. Yes, that link may be considered NSFW).

The chain has 16 locations in Canada, many of them in B.C.’s Okanagan and Lower Mainland, as well as in Edmonton, Spruce Grove and Grande Prairie.

We've had Carl's Jr. in Vernon for about two years, it's O.K. no problems but probably not as good as A&W or Subway!

They must know something Boomer doesn't, opening a place in Calgary instead of Ontario. Never ate one and by the look of their food, probably never will.

I see you're still upset about getting caught in a lie. You shouldn't be. I'm sure most people knew you were a liar anyway

We had a A&W here years ago that made homemade style burgers. Broiled like The Keg burgers. And root beer came in the glass mugs. And you could sit inside and eat or a girl carried a tray out to you and it hung onto the window so you could eat in your vehicle. Then the owner sold it to the jackwagon that owned the Husky station and then it became just like McCrap. Dairy Queen in the next town still makes flame-broiled burgers so we get one there sometimes if we are over there, but we avoid the fast-food type gutbombs generally. Across the street from the C-gar DQ is a Arby's, which used to be ok but it went downhill and all we get from there now is the curly fries. We prefer Quizzno's over Subway, too. But there is a Edo's in town so we eat Japanese fast food mostly. Can't find a decent pizza place since the Twisted Tomato croaked. The Safeway here makes a decent sandwich and soup meal. Anyways, gutbombs is an appropriate nickname for most fast food burgers. They are freakin grim.
