] is considering slashing the price of its double cheeseburger to $1 to reel in people who are keeping a close eye on their wallets.
How does all this impact the bottom line of rival Carl Jr.s’ and Hardee’s? We asked the Chief of their parent company CKE Restaurants, Andy Puzder.
Puzder told Fast Money, “To the extent that we’ve had any hit in sales, it’s come from people getting fewer combos not people getting fewer burgers. Guys are still spending $6 bucks on a burger. And yes, we are losing the 99 cent guys but those customers are the least profitable for us.”
Puzder has a lot of interesting things to say not only about the fast food industry but the overall economy. See our entire interview. Watch the video now!
