1164 Calimesa Blvd, Calimesa, CA 92320 For Sale

Backed by CKE Restaurants Holdings, Inc.

CKE Restaurants Holdings, Inc. (CKE) is a premier quick-service restaurant operator and franchisor with a rich

heritage dating back to 1941. As the parent company of Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s, CKE is a well-established leader

in the burger segment, known for its premium 100% Black Angus beef charbroiled burgers and innovative, high-

quality menu offerings.

Scale & Footprint: CKE and its franchisees operate over 3,800 Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s restaurants across 44

U.S. states and 43 international markets.

Proven Operator: With more than 80 years in the restaurant industry, CKE has demonstrated resilience through

multiple economic cycles. The company maintains a strong focus on operational excellence, menu innovation,

digital transformation, and restaurant reimaging programs to drive same-store sales growth.

Corporate-Backed Lease: This location benefits from a corporate-backed lease, providing investors with the

added security of CKE’s substantial resources and commitment as a national operator (as opposed to a singleu-

nit franchisee).

Brand Strength: Carl’s Jr. enjoys high consumer recognition, particularly in Western and Southwestern markets,

with a loyal customer base that values quality ingredients and bold flavors. The brand consistently performs well

in suburban, highway-adjacent, and retail-center locations like The Shoppes at Calimesa.

Financial Stability: CKE has successfully accessed the securitization markets (e.g., Hardee’s/Carl’s Jr. Funding

securitizations), reflecting institutional investor confidence in the company’s cash flow generation from

royalties, franchise fees, and company-operated units.

CKE’s long-term track record, national scale, and ongoing investment in the Carl’s Jr. brand make it a highly de-

sirable tenant for ground lease investors seeking stability and performance.
