Carl’s Jr Mordialloc: Fast food, petrol station planned for Lower Dandenong Rd

A popular American fast-food chain could soon hit Melbourne’s inner south as part of a multimillion-dollar development.

Kingston Council has received an application from developers to build a Carl's Jnr in Mordialloc.

American fast-food giant Carl’s Jr is eyeing off a new location at Mordialloc as part of a multimillion-dollar development.

Kingston Council has received an application for the hugely popular restaurant to be built alongside a new petrol station at 252-258 Lower Dandenong Rd.

Victoria’s first Carl’s Jr store opened at Westfield Knox in 2018 with eight opening since including Altona North, Docklands, Cranbourne and Lyndhurst.

Another restaurant is also set to take over Beaconsfield on the corner of Whiteside Rd and Princes Fwy, next to cult Mexican favourite Taco Bell.

Carls Jnr was founded in Los Angeles in 1941 and became famous for its signature Thickburger which features a chargrilled Angus beef patty, melted American cheese, tomatoes, red onions, pickles, lettuce, mustard, mayonnaise and ketchup.

Kingston Council planning and development acting general manager Paul Marsden told the Leader the estimated cost of the Mordialloc development was $3.2 million.

“The application also includes a request for a reduction in the carparking requirement for the

convenience restaurant, to alter access to Road Zone Category 1, and to display signage,” he said.

“The application is still under consideration and no estimated construction start or end dates have been confirmed.”
