Burger King

Celebrating 70 Years of Burger King!    Each year, we gather our Franchisees and their teams to celebrate achievements, discuss our opportunity areas, and align on our future plans. And that’s exactly what happened this week in Las Vegas as we celebrated 70 years of flame-grilling with the Burger King family.  Thank you to our Franchisees and their teams who took the time away from restaurants to join us!

Oh snap! This Halloween, Burger King is teaming up with Amazon MGM Studios Consumer Products and the animated adaptations of The Addams Family to serve up some scary delicious takes on some of the brand’s most iconic menu items. Now at participating U.S. restaurants while supplies last, the new The Addams Family Menu features four delicious items – each inspired by a different character from the beloved animated films, including: Wednesday’s Whopper, Thing’s Rings, Gomez’s Churro Fries, and Morticia’s Kooky Chocolate Shake. Head to your nearest BK today to try the new menu items, and check out the BK App or website for delicious deals exclusive to Royal Perks members: www.bk.com

In February, BK launched our first-ever Million Dollar Whopper Contest, allowing consumers across the U.S. to submit the ingredients of their dream Whopper sandwich for a chance to win a $1 million prize and see their creation sold in restaurants nationwide for a limited time. Now, we're excited to reveal the three final creations - the Fried Pickle Ranch Whopper created by Fabian of California, the Maple Bourbon BBQ Whopper created by Calvin of California, and the Mexican Street Corn Whopper created by Kelsie of Nebraska! After finding out their Whopper creation was selected as one of the final three, the finalists joined our culinary team at the BK headquarters in Miami to refine their Whopper sandwiches - watch them come to life below, and click here for more information on the Whopper creations that will be available in restaurants starting this November: https://lnkd.in/eSKwXNwH

The Burger King Foundation recently awarded a record-breaking $4.5 million to more than 4,200 deserving students, bringing education to the lives of college-bound high school seniors and Burger King Team Members and their families! Our Foundation team travelled across North America to share the exciting news with many of the recipients, celebrating the achievement and the work it took for them to get here.     The scholarships – ranging from $1,000 to $60,000 – help empower individuals to achieve higher education and offset the costs of attending college or post-secondary vocational/technical school. The program was established to honor the legacy of Burger King co-founder James W. McLamore, and has succeeded in awarding $60 million in scholarships to more than 51,000 students across North America since 2000.     To learn more about the Foundation’s impact and to donate, click here: https://lnkd.in/gXcW5n9J

As we celebrate Asian American Pacific Islander Month this May, we’re excited to spotlight Bonnie Hemrajani. Bonnie has been a Burger King Franchisee since Oct. 2021, acquiring 15 restaurants across New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
