Margaret and Carl Karcher

1. Margaret and Carl Karcher started from nothing. They started a hotdog stand on a loan which they eventually turned into a multimillion dollar company, Carl's Jr.
2. The couple borrowed money against their car. With that and all the cash they had on hand they started up their business that started off as a hotdog stand that also sold tamales.
3. Technology could have impacted their experience because of the way advertising has evolved. Nowadays advertising is the only way to get a company out in the public eye. Before it was just a hope that someone would buy from you.
4. I think that it's cool that they have a rags to riches type of story.
