Ryan Horne+FollowHardee’s closes last Columbus spot—what’s next?Hardee’s just shut its final Columbus location after 65 years in the fast-food game, leaving many locals with one less spot for charbroiled burgers and biscuit breakfasts. The closure isn’t just about changing tastes—it’s tangled up in lawsuits, unpaid royalties, and a franchisee owing $6.5 million. With over 200 Hardee’s closed nationwide in the past decade and sales dropping, it’s a sign of how tough the fast-food business has become. For those who still crave Hardee’s, a few spots remain in nearby towns. What do you think—will you miss it, or is this just the way things go? #Food #ColumbusOhio #Hardees00Share
