Good God..!
When I lived in CA, Carl’s Jr. was everywhere.
It was a true California success story.
Now they’ve pulled up roots from the Golden State and left for good.
California is too expensive, too much bureaucracy and too much congestion.
Who needs it?
Outside of nice weather I can’t see a single reason to run a business from California. It’s rapidly progressed from unfriendly business climate to downright hostile and it shows no evidence that trend will be reversed.
On top of that - CALPERS is hanging over the state budget like a massive nuclear bomb. Anyone with half a brain should understand that you can’t have a state retirement system that allows people to retire young and make over 100k a year the rest of their lives. The number of people on welfare and public assistance grows each year. The climate is already bad and it will get much worse because they are losing taxpayers and adding tax consumers. Just my .02.
This picture has nothing to do with the article, but any article on Carl's Jr. is a good opportunity to post pictures from their commercials.
Well duh! Toyota left! Who’s next? Even lib tesla is building batteries in Nevada.
Maybe they just moved to get room to breathe?
I amazed that their corporate HQ was in the sleepy little beach town of Carpinteria.
Now if I can just get off my butt and win the lottery, I'd buy AA or better rated CA municipal bonds that are tax free (with AGM/BAM insurance) and retire there without paying ANY income taxes to the state or feds).
She is a genius in at least two domains.
Because it's impossible to do business in California.
Laz would hit it.
My, what big hamburgers you have, my dear! Sandwich? Where?
Pretty soon States like California and New York will make it illegal to move your company out of their state.
Or course this is a illegal as hell, but the libs won;t complain about it...
But hey if a farmer wants to hold back wheat he is affecting interstate commerce, and if a company wants to move to another state I guess they are affectign interstate commerce too....
RIP 10th amendment 1791 - 1942
Nashville has been a good corporate office location for many corporations. Carl’s will probably like it there just fine.
I wonder if the People’s State of California will threaten an exit tax, as they did to golfer Phil Mickelson when he said he was moving from Palm Springs to Arizona, due to taxes.
nice patties.
Why does that guy have an armload of phallic symbols?
“Now theyve pulled up roots from the Golden State and left for good.”
There are still Carls Jr all over the place.
I am not going to patronize them.
Carl Karcher would be appalled.
While TN has a better business environment, Nashville is probably as liberal as anyplace.
