I was quite surprised to see this Hardee's<\/i>, more or less at the corner of Percival Road and Forest Drive, closed.<\/p>\n

As far as I could tell driving by daily, it seemed to do a reasonable amount of business. What's more, this section of Forest Drive is now an Interstate exit zone, so it should have been drawing from more than just the local area.<\/p>\n

My first thought was that the opening of Cookout<\/a> just a few slots down the road was the cause. The problem with that theory is that Hardee's<\/i> does a brisk breakfast business, and Cookout<\/i>, as far as I know, doesn't have a breakfast menu.<\/p>\n
