BARNWELL, S.C. (April 20, 2020) – The “new” Hardee’s^® of Barnwell opened bright and early today right in the same spot as the ‘old’ Hardee’s.

The new Hardee’s is at 10262 Dunbarton Blvd. where the ‘old’ Hardee’s was closed in November to make way for construction of its replacement. The new restaurant reopened at 5 a.m. and features the popular menu of Made From Scratch^TM Breakfast Biscuits, a delicious range of Black Angus charbroiled Thickburgers^®  as well as a new line of charbroiled Star Burgers. Also back are Hand-Breaded Chicken Tenders,^TM  and delicious Fresh Fried Chicken.

For the time being, the restaurant will feature drive-thru service and pick-up only in the dining area. During this period of no in-restaurant dining because of precautions against coronavirus, the hours of the restaurant will be 5 a.m. through 9 p.m. on Monday through Saturday and from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Sunday. The hours will expand once precautions against the coronavirus are lifted.

The new Hardee’s seats up to 50 guests and has a distinctive contemporary look with the latest “retro” Hardee’s restaurant design. The restaurant also features free wi-fi service. It also has a digital menu board at the counter and at the drive-thru order area. The restaurant employs about 50 workers plus several managers.

“We’re really excited to be back with the Barnwell location and appreciate our customers’ patience while we did this rebuild,” said Mike Boddie, president of Boddie-Noell Enterprises, the owner-operator. “As a family-owned company, we are glad to be involved again in supporting this area and look forward to getting back to normal.”

This reopened Hardee’s is one of more than a dozen locations in South Carolina and among 347 Hardee’s across four states operated by family-owned Boddie-Noell. The company has been a Hardee’s franchise operator for 58 years and is the largest Hardee’s franchisee in the United States.

ROCKY MOUNT, N.C. (March 19, 2020) – The largest Hardee’s franchise operator in the United States, Boddie-Noell Enterprises, announced today it will go to drive-thru service only and suspend dining-in service except for pick-up at all of its 340-plus restaurant locations as a precaution against potential coronavirus concerns.

The company will also modify its operating hours to 5 a.m. to 9 p.m Monday through Saturday and Sunday 6 a.m at 9 p.m. at all 346 Hardee’s restaurants it owns and operates in North Carolina, Virginia, South Carolina and eastern Kentucky. Boddie-Noell does not operate all Hardee’s locations in any of the four states and other franchisees may not have taken these steps taken by Boddie-Noell.

Customers can access the dining areas to place orders for delivery or pick-up by services. For instance, Uber Eats will offer free deliveries for the next two weeks.

“The safety of our employees and our guests is our top priority. We’ve made this decision to go to drive-thru, pick-up and delivery service only out of an abundance of caution and to assure our customers we take their safety and health seriously during this uncertain time,” said Mike Boddie, president of Boddie-Noell Enterprises. “It’s also to address any concerns our employees might have as we continue to put in place the best health and safety practices that we can.”

The company said it will maintain the drive thru and pick up-only service as long as it remains advisable or public health authorities ask restaurants to do so. It also is reducing operating hours to provide employees more time to maintain enhanced cleaning, sanitation and health measures.

Boddie-Noell already has put in place enhanced cleaning and sanitation practices at all of its Hardee’s locations. The company also provided additional training for employees to monitor their own health and take immediate steps if they have any health or illness concerns.

“We’re going to be as proactive as we possibly can to ensure that our restaurants meet or exceed health and safety requirements and to take additional measures that our customers would expect of us as members of hundreds of local communities at this time,” said Boddie.

“Our patients are our number one priority and anything we can do to improve their healthcare while reducing costs to them  is of vital importance to us,” from Abigail DeVries, MD, Medical Director at Piedmont Health Services. “We’ve had a great experience with RelyMD at our Scott Community Health Center and we’re thrilled to expand this partnership to our other locations. Allowing our patients to access quality healthcare at a reduced rate when our locations are closed for the day will be an excellent resource for them.”

“We’ve loved working with Piedmont Health Services through the Scott Community Health Center and are looking forward to providing telemedicine services to their other seven locations,” said Dr. Bobby Park, co-founder of RelyMD. “The virtual healthcare services of RelyMD can be particularly beneficial to Federally Qualified Health Centers like those of Piedmont, in that we are able to provide exemplary medical care and facilitate a great patient experience while still reducing costs.”

Piedmont Health’s 42,000 established patients will be able to access RelyMD for just $40 per visit.  Piedmont Health employees have also had access to this service for over a year. More information is available at: http://relymd.com/piedmont/.

For over 47 years, we have been committed to helping change the lives of everyone in our communities, whether that’s through our medical services, dental care, on-site pharmacy, nutrition counseling or disease management. With ten convenient locations, serving 14 counties in the Piedmont region, the health of you and your family is our top priority. We have locations in Chatham, Alamance, Lee, and Orange Counties.

“RelyMD was founded and is staffed by a group of board-certified emergency room physicians so we understand how busy the lives of healthcare workers can be and how hectic their schedules can get,” said Dr. Bobby Park, director of virtual healthcare for RelyMD. “We’re excited to partner with another North Carolina-based healthcare group in Well Care Home Health to provide them with a convenient time- and cost-effective alternative to emergency rooms and urgent care facilities. Our goal is to make life a little bit easier for these busy working professionals.”

”Well Care is excited to partner with RelyMD to offer virtual medical care to our team members and their dependents enrolled in the company’s medical plan 24/7/365,” said Wanda Coley, chief operating officer. “RelyMD’s innovative approach to bringing medicine where the patient is offers  efficiencies to healthcare without compromising quality. Our staff can seek healthcare wherever they are, avoiding wait times in emergency room, urgent care and physician office settings.  We anticipate this service will decrease the amount of missed time from work and enhance our current benefit offerings.”

RICHMOND, Va. (Dec. 5, 2016) – Customers at Hardee’s^® restaurants across Virginia operated by Boddie-Noell Enterprises gave $88,184 to Special Olympics Virginia for athletes to attend the organization’s upcoming summer games. The proceeds came from customers who paid $1 for a Star and received a coupon sheet good for Hardee’s menu items during the recent five-week campaign.

The Hardee’s Star fundraising campaign helps hundreds of Special Olympics athletes participate in the 2017 edition of this annual community event. It’s the 36^th year of the fundraising partnership between franchise operator Boddie-Noell and Special Olympics Virginia.

Raising the most in this year’s campaign were customers at the Hardee’s in Stuart. In second place was the Hardee’s at Celebration Station in Virginia Beach. Third in sales was the Hardee’s of Gloucester (Hayes). All 176 Hardee’s locations in Virginia operated by Boddie-Noell participated in this year’s campaign by selling the Stars.

“We’re very proud of our Hardee’s locations that did their part but especially for our generous customers who support these wonderful athletes by purchasing the Star and receiving the coupons,” said Terry Lewis, president of Boddie-Noell’s Hardee’s Restaurant Operations and a board member of Special Olympics Virginia.

“As a result of this incredible effort, Special Olympics athletes from all over the Commonwealth will attend the Summer Games,” said Rick Jeffrey, president of Special Olympics Virginia. “They will also experience all of the respect, inclusion and unity the Games have to offer as well as much-needed access to free healthcare in the areas of dentistry, optometry, audiology and fitness. Boddie-Noell and Hardee’s support of Special Olympics Virginia is unmatched!”

Boddie-Noell Enterprises, the largest Hardee’s franchise operator in the United States,  has now contributed in excess of $1.6 million to the Special Olympics organization over the more than three decades they’ve partnered together. Boddie-Noell owns and operates all Hardee’s franchise restaurants across Virginia.

In addition to the 2016 Fall fundraiser, in 2017 Boddie-Noell will sponsor the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics Virginia. The company will again sponsor the Summer Games in mid-June.

The mission of Special Olympics is to provide year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with and without intellectual disabilities.
