27 June 2024 - 11:12PM
Hardee’s franchise owner-operator Boddie-Noell Enterprises recently
raised more than $30,000 for the Patriot Foundation to support
military families and provide educational scholarships to the
children and spouses of fallen and injured NC military. The
fundraiser was part of a limited time Hardee’s FRYDAY promotion in
which 25 cents was donated to Patriot Foundation for every
crinkle-cut french fry sold each Friday.
The crinkle-cut french fry is a new menu item and is featured as
part of the Hardee’s Hand-Breaded Chicken Tenders™ Platter.
The Platter includes a choice of three or five tenders and dipping
sauce, combined with crinkle-cut fries, slaw, toast and a beverage.
This meal can be enjoyed with refreshing lemonade or freshly brewed
southern iced tea.
The enhanced menu coincides with a more than $20 million
investment by Boddie-Noell in new Hardee’s and restaurant remodels
in the area.
“This is our home market and includes the most restaurants of
any region where we operate,” said Mike Boddie, president of
Boddie-Noell Enterprises the nation’s largest Hardee’s franchise
operator. “We’re showing our commitment here by not only investing
in our restaurants, but also in our community. Patriot Foundation
does incredible work to support families of soldiers killed or
wounded while supporting our country.”
Based in Pinehurst and founded in 2003, Patriot Foundation
provides educational scholarships – totaling over $17 million to
date – to the children and spouses of servicemen and women killed,
wounded, or injured while serving our nation.
“We are so grateful to Mike and the fantastic team at
Boddie-Noell. Their support over the years has impacted hundreds of
military families,” said Kim Gilley, executive vice president for
the Foundation. Learn more at patriotfoundation.org.
