Nearly 80 Hardee's locations across eight states were closed at the end of 2025 after franchisee ARC Burger failed to make payments and was sued by Hardee's, though there is potential for some locations to reopen under Hardee's management.
Employees at a Hardee's restaurant in Michigan City, Indiana, allegedly stole customers' credit card information and used the funds to bail inmates out of the LaPorte County Jail. The group made fraudulent charges totaling $14,700 using drive-thru customers' credit and debit cards. The suspects face charges of conspiracy to commit fraud and criminal organizational activity, with potential prison sentences of up to eight and a half years if convicted. The scheme involved photographing customers' cards at the drive-thru window, using them to place money into inmates' jail accounts, and then withdrawing the remaining balance on a jail-issued debit card. One suspect remains at large, and anyone with information is urged to contact the authorities.
