Recently it has come to my attention that the Westlake Village Carl's Jr. at 887 Westlake Boulevard has been fenced off. In fact six people contacted us via Facebook comments, posts and email.   Folks want to know, is Carl's Jr. history or are they remodeling?

I received a call back from Carl's Jr. regional management today and learned that Carl's Jr. Westlake Village is not going anywhere. There are remodeling the location and adding a drive-thru that will be located on the south (adjacent to Cisco's) side of this local fast food mainstay. Projected time of completion and re-opening is three months. So...stay tuned.

If you are in need of a Carl's Jr. fix, the closest locations to Westlake Village are Agoura Hills, Thousand Oaks and Newbury Park.
