Carl’s Jr., which opened in early July, is already up for sale.
Asking price for the new charbroiled burger joint is a sizzling $3.4 million. The 3,800-square-foot commercial property is on John Wayne Parkway near Edison Pointe. The deal comes with a 20-year lease, brokers said.
“It’s for sale as an investment sale,” Alec Miller, acquisitions and dispositions manager for Scottsdale developer SimonCRE, told InMaricopa this afternoon.
“It will still stay in operation,” with the existing franchisee, StarCorp LLC, Miller added. The Gilbert-based franchisee operates more than 140 Carl’s Jr. restaurants in Arizona and Texas.
Carl’s Jr. made its Maricopa comeback when it opened five months ago.
The home of Double Western Bacon Cheeseburgers and star-shaped chicken nuggies previously operated in Maricopa at the site where Wendy’s now grills burgers on North John Wayne Parkway. That Carl’s location shuttered in December 2018.
The fast-food chain’s return was first announced in late 2021. It rejoined the lineup of national fast-food chains on John Wayne Parkway, which includes Taco Bell, Wendy’s, McDonald’s, Burger King and Sonic.
