Random scene popping into my head

"You know what I really miss about California? Carl Jr's."

"We've got the same thing here; it's just called Hardee's."

"It's not the same."

"It is literally the same, except the name over the door."

I think it's "Carl's Jr"...lemme check...yes.

Carl's Jr and Hardee's were created independently in different markets. But they were merged and intentionally made to look more alike:

In April 1997, CKE Restaurants Holdings, Inc., the parent company of Carl's Jr., paid $327 million to Montreal-based Imasco Limited for Hardee's.[2] The merger created a chain of 3,828 restaurants – 3,152 Hardee's outlets in 40 states and 10 foreign countries and 676 Carl's Jr. outlets, primarily in California. In June 2018, former CKE CEO Jason Marker announced that Carl's Jr. and Hardee's would become separate brands, claiming that CKE's racy advertising and marketing campaigns were incompatible with a family-oriented chain like Hardee's.[3] In April 2019, Ned Lyerly, a 30-year veteran of the company and formerly president of CKE's International division, was named CEO, replacing Jason Marker.
(From the Wikipedia "Hardee's" article.)

Nearby CJ's burned down last week.
Not that I've been there for 40 or so years

I'd probably be missing In 'N' Out Burger. 🤔
