I actually visited a Hardees for the first time during my visit to Indiana a couple months ago.
From what my father told me, Carls Jr tried to just turn them all into their own restaurants, but it didn't go over well in the first few location changes, so they ultimately decided to stick with the Hardees name.
One thing that amused me was the fact that the Hardee's tex-mex extension is called "Red Burrito", as opposed to the "Green Burrito" you find at some Carl's Jrs.
