FRANKLIN, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Carl’s Jr., known for impossible to ignore flavors and craveable menu items, today announced the launch of its latest menu innovation, the new Guacamole Double Cheeseburger. The trendy offering is the newest addition to the brand’s beloved Charbroiled Double Deals, and is now available at participating Carl’s Jr. locations nationwide. The newest menu item will deliver the decadent ingredient starting at just $2.99 – a tasty and affordable twist on the traditional avocado toast.
The new Guacamole Double Cheeseburger will feature two charbroiled all-beef patties, topped with melted pepper jack cheese, and Carl's Jr. signature guacamole made with real avocado, along with fresh lettuce and a crisp tomato — served on a toasted bun.
To celebrate the launch, together with National Avocado Day on July 31, Carl’s Jr. is shining a light on just how popular the treasured delicacy of avocado toast is to today’s customer with the Carl’s Jr. Millennial Avocado Toast report.
