DORAL, Fla. - Carl's Jr. is bringing its famous West Coast burgers to Florida!

The famous fast food chain announced this week it would be opening its first location in the Sunshine State – which is also the first Carl's Jr. to open east of the Mississippi River. It's planned to open in late 2023, according to a news release.

The brand new Carl's Jr. location will be located in downtown Doral, which is about half-an-hour north of Miami. A spokesperson for the company said the official address will be released closer to the grand opening date.
