Hardee's Senior Discount Policy + More Ways to Save

Short Answer

Hardee’s offers a 10% senior discount at many locations and a discounted senior drink at some locations. Discounts vary by location.

Hardee’s Senior Discount Policy

According to Hardee’s corporate customer service, many Hardee’s restaurant branches offer a senior discount of 10% off of the entire meal. In addition, some Hardee’s restaurants also offer cheaper 16 oz soft drinks for seniors, at $0.59.

To confirm the availability of these discounts, we contacted Hardee’s locations in five states. About 60% of the restaurants we called offer the 10% discount, while about 40% said they offer a discounted senior drink. All of the stores we called said customers over the age of 55 are eligible for the senior discount.

Since Hardee’s is a franchise restaurant chain, not every branch offers the same discounts; specific amounts and restrictions may vary across branches. To find out the exact discount and eligibility requirements in your area, call your local Hardee’s.

Other Discounts Offered at Hardee’s

Diners of all ages can still get discounted meals at Hardee’s. Besides the Hardee’s senior discounts, Hardee’s offers the $5 All-Star Meals, which you can see from the menu on the Hardee’s website. You can also sign up to receive emails about Hardee’s other deals and exclusive offers.

Like the Hardee’s senior discount, other discounts might vary from branch to branch. Franchised restaurants won’t always participate in the same promotions as corporate-owned locations. Call your local Hardee’s for more specific details on what they offer in your area.
