Naming rights aside, I doubt another shitty burger chain will see success in Aus. If you want a shitty burger, we got that covered in almost every town and suburb. Aussie typically want higher quality fast food.
I'm waiting for the inevitable Carl's Jr implosion, no way those restaurants are sustainable businesses.
You don't even need to look at Carl's Jr. Just look at taco Bell I've walked past it and am convinced it's used as either money laundering or a tax write off. There's never anyone there.
Nobody is in there because the food is beyond terrible. You don't get cheese for your taco, you get lettuce that has a dusting of cheese in it. It's dumb as hell.
You're kind of not wrong. Collins Foods have just written of a $36.7 million impairment against the Taco Bell business, with Taco Bell stores posting a same-store sales decline of 4.8 per cent for the year.

Bloody horrible
I had a carls jr burger the other day, and it was the driest burger patty I have ever had.
Wendy's in Canada is excellent. Dave's Single and Double are the best fast food cheeseburgers IMO
Wendy's in the US is actually one of the better day did restaurants. Still only about comparable to Australian KFC at best.
