Phoenix Suns have announced today an exclusive multi-year partnership with Carl’s Jr. franchise owner Frontier Star CJ, medic LLC.

The deal will bring a new Carl’s Jr. location to downtown Phoenix and designate Carl’s Jr. as the Official Burger of the Phoenix Suns.

The new agreement includes the build-out of a full-service Carl’s Jr. restaurant adjacent to the main entrance at US Airways Center. The restaurant will be open to the public and is scheduled to open near the beginning of the 2013-14 Suns regular season.
