ABOUT THE ASSOCIATION

The IHFA is a for-profit franchise association whose mission is to represent all franchisees in the Hardee’s® system by:

  • Communicating in a recognized and unified voice from the franchisees to the franchisor.
  • Serving as a resource for the franchise community.
  • Working with the franchisor for the common good of the system.
  • Protecting and enhancing the economic investments of the franchisees.

The goals of the IHFA include:

  • Establishing a representative board of directors that represent all franchisees both geographically and in number of units.
  • Developing legal opinions on system-wide franchisee issues.
  • Formalizing lines of communication among franchisees.
  • Working with the franchisor in the roll-out of new equipment, programs and products.
  • Developing purchasing efficiencies.

Our purpose is to create a unified franchisee organization that brings together the resources, talents, creativity and knowledge of all Hardee’s® operators in order to allow us to maximize the value for our businesses and to promote stability and security for all franchisees within the Hardee’s system.
