In the heart of Mérida, one block from the Plaza Grande, the hamburger chain Carl’s Jr opened a new restaurant in the city last Thursday, the 7th.
Located on 60th Street, between 65th and 67th Streets in the Center, the restaurant is the ninth that the Mex Burger company operates in Mérida and Campeche.
The inauguration was headed by the general director of the firm, Alejandro Dogre Muñoz, who highlighted that the opening takes place 15 years after inaugurating the first Carl’s Jr in the city.
“We are very excited. It has been 15 years that we have been representing this franchise in Mérida and Campeche. The truth is that with a lot of effort and a lot of work, we have managed to position the brand,” he said after the inauguration, which was attended by friends, family, and special guests.
He added that with the opening of the ninth Carl’s Jr restaurant, they are meeting the objective of reaching 10 branches in 15 years, and that, he announced, next December they will have to open the tenth branch.
“We are a little behind due to the pandemic, but, if everything goes well, at the end of this year we will be opening the tenth branch,” he stressed.
The new Carl’s Jr store, which occupies the premises where a steak restaurant previously stood, has a capacity for 135 people distributed on the ground floor and the upper floor.
Dogre Muñoz pointed out that having a restaurant in the Center was always a priority for the Group, which already has branches in the west, north, and east of the city.
“Today, many years later, we had the opportunity to get this location, which is not easy to find a suitable place in the Center, and now that we had the opportunity, we took the option and decided to open,” he said and then pointed out that they invested around 12 million pesos.
He added that with the opening of the ninth Carl’s Jr, the company is generating around 450 direct jobs.
