HARDEE'S HAMBURGERS 15¢ Coca Cola Bottle - The First 30 Years - May 5, 1991
SOLD $125.00 Sold: Mar 4, 2024 on eBayOriginal Listing Description
Wilber Hardee opened his first restaurant in September of 1960 in Greenville, North Carolina. Before this, Hardee was operating other hamburger joints in the Greenville area, Silo, and Burger Castle. McDonald's opened their 1st restaurant in Greenville a year ago. He visited it, and was impressed that they sold $168. in sales in one day. That's a lot of hamburger customers at 15¢ for a burger. So, he decided to open a restaurant with the same concept, before the California based McDonald's could get a foothold in the Greenville area. Years later, the chain was sold to CKE, also owner's of Carl's Jr. Today, Hardee's has grown to over 1900 restaurants. Credit to Jerry Bledsoe, thank you. This bottle is extremely rare. It is in brilliant condition for being 32 years old. This bottle is full, and has a crown top. The bottle has perfect painted labels, and no chips. Shipping for this bottle will be only $9.00, anywhere in the U.S. for 2-4 day mail. If you choose to purchase more of my many asst. bottles, I will ship them FREE with this one. (Condition: Pre-Owned)
