Those of you on the
west side of town will now have to drive a little farther to get
your Thickburger.
Hardee's at 2300 W.
Main St. closed its doors last Saturday, according to Danielle
Dahlenburg, who manages the Haines Avenue Hardee's.
There are several
other fast-food restaurants within a block of the West Main Street
location, and Hardee's - which has been there for at least 10 years
- could no longer compete. Among the other restaurants are
McDonald's, Culver's, and Taco Bell.
All of the local
Hardee's restaurants are owned by the same franchise company,
Dahlenburg said. The three other locations - on Haines Avenue,
Fifth Street and East North Street - will remain open.
The Rapid City
locations are among 1,925 Hardee's restaurants and 1,141 Carl's Jr.
restaurants in 42 states and in 13 countries for CKE Restaurants as
of the end of the fiscal fourth quarter on Jan. 28,
2008.
