In A Matter Of Weeks, Hardee's Has Now Vanished From One Minnesota Town

About 6 weeks ago, news hit that the Hardee's location at Hwy 169/14 area in Mankato closed.  Now, it appears a note has been posted on the door of another Hardee's location, indicating that it has suddenly closed.

According to KEYC, the reason for the closure hasn't been shared as of yet but the Hardee's on Madison Avenue in Mankato is no longer serving up Bacon Cheeseburgers...or any other burger.  This is a bit alarming for fans of this fast-food chain because this is now the 2nd closure in a matter of weeks.

Fast-Food Fries - Ranked Healthiest to Unhealthiest

The best side dish for a burger is NOT coleslaw. If someone tells you that, walk away and go find a place that is serving up french fries.

"Healthy" and "French Fries" don't typically go together. It is common knowledge that although a fry is from a potato, it doesn't make it as healthy as a green, leafy salad.

If you are still reaching for a fry and now you are curious how "healthy" it really is, Cheapism did the research for you and ranked over 20 fast-food chains' fries from the healthiest to unhealthiest.
