To Celebrate, Hardee’s Will Partner with Navy SEAL Foundation, a Non-Profit That Supports
Naval Special Warfare Families Aug. 2 – Sept. 27
ROCKY MOUNT, N.C. (AUG. 5 2024) – Hardee’s franchise owner operator Boddie-Noell Enterprises has a longtime presence in central and northern Virginia and recently made it even bigger with new menu choices at its 46 restaurants in the region and multi-million- dollar renovations across all locations.
Local Hardee’s in the Harrisonburg, Washington, D.C. and Richmond areas are debuting new menu choices, featuring the Hand-Breaded Chicken TendersTM Platter and crinkle-cut fries. The Platter includes a choice of three or five tenders and dipping sauce, combined with new crinkle-cut fries, slaw, toast and a beverage. This new meal can be enjoyed with refreshing lemonade or freshly brewed southern iced tea. All new menu items are available now in person or via mobile ordering through the Hardee’s MyRewards app, where guests can earn points to be redeemed for exclusive offers.
To demonstrate its long-term commitment to the region, franchisee Boddie-Noell has made a significant investment in restaurant remodels that feature a more contemporary exterior and interior (photos available).
To celebrate the new menu and remodels, the local Hardee’s are partnering with the Navy SEAL Foundation for a special FRYDAY promotion. For every new crinkle-cut fry sold each Friday from Aug. 2 – Sept. 27 at area Hardee’s, 25 cents will be donated to the Navy SEAL Foundation. This national non-profit provides a comprehensive set of over 30 essential programs for SEALs, SWCCs, veterans and their families, and helps veterans transition to successful careers in the civilian sector.
“We own and operate more Hardee’s in Virginia than in any other state,” said Mike Boddie, president of Boddie-Noell Enterprises, the nation’s largest Hardee’s franchise operator. “We’re showing our commitment here not only by introducing the new Hand-Breaded Chicken Tenders™ Platters and crinkle-cut fries, but also our commitment to the community by partnering with Navy SEAL Foundation. We know both the new menu options and the opportunity to support Naval families are going to be a big hit with our customers.”
“We are deeply grateful to Mike Boddie and Boddie-Noell Enterprises for their continued support through the Hardee’s FRYDAY fundraiser in Hampton Roads,’ said Geoff Leard, NSF’s Partnership Director. “As the largest Hardee’s franchise owner, their dedication to our mission is truly inspiring. This latest fundraiser strengthens our community and supports Naval Special Warfare (NSW) families. Thank you for your ongoing commitment and generosity.”
The new menu and enhancement of its restaurants is only the latest in food innovations that Boddie-Noell has been bringing to its Hardee’s locations over six decades. Boddie-Noell was the first to create and introduce the Made From ScratchTM Breakfast Biscuit back in the 1970s before anyone else in the quick service business had done so and led Hardee’s launch of Fresh Fried Chicken. Then, over a decade ago, Boddie-Noell rolled out the Hand-Breaded Chicken Tenders™ which have been widely popular as a Hardee’s menu item throughout the nation. Most recently, BNE now offers its famous Made From Scratch breakfast until Noon every day.
