Meet the Burger King!
VK, Burger King is a global fast food company brand owned by Burger King Corporation, an American company. Her specialty is wappers (a type of hamburger), french fries. Headquarters is located in sunny Miami (Florida, USA).
The history of the beloved fast food chain began in 1953 - then a restaurant called Insta-Burger King was opened in Jacksonville, Florida. I must say, the very next year of its existence, the owners faced a number of financial difficulties. The case was bought by local franchisees - D. McLamore and D. Edgerton. The name of the acquisition was slightly changed by them - turned into a Burger King, and buyers became the founders of a future worldwide chain of fast-food restaurants.
But the “Burger King” along the way by now had to change four more owners. And I must say, now his situation is not bad: in 2013 the company had 13 thousand restaurants in 79 countries, its turnover was $ 1.97 billion, and net profit was $ 117.7 million.
Nowadays, new Burger King addresses appear solely due to various variations of franchising.
