A taste of America is coming to Mount Barker – in the form of Carl’s Jr. The American burger chain is the first of its kind to hit South Australia, with another expected to be built by the end of the year.

A taste of America is coming to Mount Barker – in the form of Carl’s Jr. The American burger chain is the first of its kind to hit South Australia, with another expected to be built by the end of the year.

The grand opening of the Mount Barker location will be Saturday 22 July. As is becoming a tradition of Carl’s Jr store openings, the first 50 people through the door will receive a free meal on the day and free food every week for the next year. There will also be an official ribbon cutting.

Frank Agostino and the Agostino Group have the exclusive license for Carl’s Jr. restaurants in South Australia and the Northern Territory. The Mount Barker location was selected as the first of a number of planned sites across the next few years. Mount Barker is a growing population with a strong community who support local business. By the end of 2017 there will be two Carl’s locations in South Australia – with two to three extra planned across South Australia and the Northern Territory each year for the foreseeable future.

Carl’s Jr came up with the idea of the drive thru, and have been around for 75 years. They offer beef and chicken – and they hand bread their chicken strips in store. They also offer hand-scooped ice-cream milkshakes. There is also a low-carb option which wraps the chosen burger in crisp lettuce, rather than bread.

Saddle up ladies and gentlemen, with so many tasty burgers and only one place to get them in the entire state, it’s gonna get messy. Check out some of the tasty options below:
