Carl’s Jr. to open first Swansea restaurant as part of UK expansion

Carl’s Jr., the iconic Californian burger chain, is set to open its first Swansea restaurant on Thursday, 4 September — marking only its second UK location following a successful launch in Cardiff earlier this year.

The new branch will be located on Wind Street in the heart of the city and is part of the brand’s wider UK expansion strategy, which aims to bring its signature chargrilled burgers and American-style menu to more diners across Wales and beyond.

To celebrate the opening, Carl’s Jr. Swansea will offer the first 100 customers through the door a free burger, along with exclusive branded merchandise including hoodies. The giveaway features the chain’s Famous Star® burger made with 100% Angus beef, alongside hand-breaded chicken and indulgent ice cream shakes.

In the lead-up to launch day, the company is running a citywide “Star Hunt” promotion, hiding branded stars around Wind Street. Each star carries a voucher for a free Famous Star® burger, redeemable during opening week.

The restaurant will seat over 40 guests and create around 25 new jobs across kitchen, front-of-house, and management roles. David Moffat, Country Manager for Carl’s Jr. UK, said the Swansea opening continues the brand’s mission to deliver “bold flavour, great service, and quality ingredients” to UK customers.

Operated by Boparan Restaurant Group, Carl’s Jr. plans to open several more UK locations in the coming years, building on its global footprint of more than 1,100 restaurants in 39 countries.
