The property between Pan American Avenue and Kentucky Fried Chicken is once again garnering attention from two businesses interested in locating in that area.


A Carl’s Jr. restaurant and an Aaron Rents, a rent to own furniture store, has expressed interest in the lot.

Carl’s Jr. restaurant is a family –oriented eatery that offers a wide menu. They are mostly found in the Western United States and are in the process of expanding into Canada and Mexico.

Carl’s Jr. was founded by Carl N. Karacher in 1941 and is now owned by CKE Restaurants.

The restaurant is fourth in the quick service restaurant business after McDonald’s, Burger King and Wendy’s.

Aaron Rents, Inc. is the leader in the rental, lease ownership and specialty retailing of residential and office furniture, consumer electronics and home appliances with more than 1,410 company-operated and franchised stores in 48 states and Canada.

Founded in 1955 by entrepreneur R. Charles Loudermilk and publicly traded since 1982, Aaron Rents was a pioneer in the furniture rental industry.

There are three operating divisions of Aaron Rents: sales and lease ownership; corporate furnishings; and manufacturing.

The Aaron’s Sales & Lease Ownership division is the largest and fastest growing division, serving credit-constrained consumers in need of basic home furnishings, appliances and electronics.

    " Carl's Junior has great food. I think what needs to close up shop are all the mom and pop taco type places. How many of those do you need? Carl's Junior has many things other than just burgers. This place will at least employ a few people. People in this community need employment. "

    " What we need is an Arby's, or Applebee's or someplace to enjoy the atmosphere. NOT ANOTHER burger joint. All we have is Denny's as a sit down relax restraurant. But, that too is getting old. Come on Douglas, bring us something NEW and DIFFERENT. "

    " Another hamburger shop. Just what Douglas needs. Maybe if it was combined with a 99 cent store and a taco shop it would fly. Why can't we just get a regular nice dine in restaurant. With the price of gas, it's getting harder to leave town to dine in a nice place. "
