About Burger King
:
Burger King (NYSE: BKC), often abbreviated as BK, is a
global chain of hamburger fast
food restaurants headquartered
in unincorporated Miami-Dade County, Florida, United
States. The company began as a franchise
restaurant chain, based in Jacksonville, Florida in 1953,
named Insta-Burger King, and operated by Kieth J. Kramer and Matthew Burns. After the company ran into financial
difficulties in 1955, its two Miami-based franchisees, David
Edgerton and James
McLamore, purchased the company and
rechristened it Burger King. Since that time, the company has used several variations of franchising to expand its
operations. Burger King Holdings Corporation is the parent company of Burger King; in the United States it
operates under the Burger King Brands title while internationally it operates under the Burger King Corporation
banner. It is a publicly traded company with investment firms of TPG
Capital, Bain
Capital, and Goldman Sachs Capital Partners each owning about 25% of the company.
At the end of fiscal year 2009, Burger King reported that there
are more than 12,000 outlets in 73 countries; 66% are in the United States and 90% are privately owned and operated. The
company has more than 37,000 employees serving approximately 11.4 million customers daily.[4] In North America,
franchises are licensed on a per store basis, while in several international locations licenses are sold on a
regional basis with franchises owning exclusive development rights for the region or country. These regional
franchises are known as master
franchises, and are responsible for opening
new restaurants, licensing new third party operators, and performing standards oversight of all restaurant
locations in these countries; the largest example of a master franchise is Hungry
Jack's, which exclusively owns, operates or
sub-licenses over 300 restaurants in Australia.
The Burger
King menu has evolved from a basic
offering of burgers, fries, sodas and milkshakes in 1954, to a larger, more diverse set of offerings that
includes several variations of chicken, fish, salads and breakfast. The Whopper, a sandwich that has since
become Burger King's signature product, was the first major addition to the menu by McLamore in 1957. Not all
introductions have had the success of the Whopper; BK has introduced many products which failed to catch hold in
the marketplace. Some products that have failed in the US have seen success in foreign markets, where BK has
also tailored its menu for regional tastes.
The company's "Golden Age" of advertising was during the 1970s
when it introduced its mascot the Magical
Burger King, a memorable jingle, and several
well known and parodied slogans. Beginning in the early
1980s, its advertising began to lose focus; a series of less successful ad campaigns created by various agencies
continued for the next two decades. In 2003, Burger King set about resuscitating its moribund advertising with
the hiring of the Miami-based advertising agency of Crispin Porter + Bogusky (CP+B).
They completely reorganized Burger King's advertising with a series of new advertisements centered on a
resuscitated Magical Burger King character.
