Carl's Jr. is an American fast-food restaurant and has done promotions with the Sonic the Hedgehog series. Carl's Jr. was founded by Carl Karcher and his wife Margaret Karcher in Los Angeles in 1941, but the brand was only a hotdog cart at the time. Later in 1945 they opened the first Carl's Drive-In Barbecue, then eventually in 1956 opened the first two Carl's Jr. restaurants.
