創辦人為Wilbur Hardee 。
Its establisher was Wilbur Hardee.
其分店主要集中於美國中西部、美國東南部及美國東岸。

而哈迪斯曾於1990年代初起擴展美國之外的業務,

哈迪斯於1991年進軍香港,在香港等地設立分店,

主要產品為美式快餐 (包括漢堡包、薯條及奶昔)
with the American styled fast food as its chief products (including hamburgers, French fries and milk-shakes)
在進軍香港的全盛時期有超過25間分店
There were more than 25 branches during its most prosperous period in Hong Kong.
,可是,哈迪斯的在港業務自1990年代末期開始日漸萎縮,]
But its market gradually diminished starting from the late 1990s.
2006年哈迪斯陸續結束其大部份分店
In 2006, it continuously closed most of its branches.
因為哈迪斯的本地特許經營權未能與美國總公司達成共識
Since it could not achieve a mutual agreement with its headquarter in the States in the problem of local franchise rights.
,加上租金上漲導致營利下降,
And, the rising rent caused a decrease in profit.
故決定結束所有分店。
Therefore it decided to close all the branches.
