Having said that, Burger has a serious fanbase that competes with Mcdonalds.
Like most successful restaurant chains, Burger King had humble beginnings from it’s experienced and passionate founders. Burger King has been around since it was founded in Miami in 1954 by James McLamore and David Edgerton.
McLamore and Edgerton, both of whom had extensive experience in the restaurant business before starting their joint venture, believed in the simple concept of providing the customer with reasonably priced quality food, served quickly, in attractive, clean suroundings.
Their trademarked burger, the Whopper, was introduced in 1957 and became an instant hit. One of the factors that have helped to increase the Company’s expansion and growth has been the sale of restaurant franchises. By 1961, McLamore and Edgerton had acquired national franchise rights for the Company, which was then operating 45 restaurants throughout Florida and the Southeast.
Since its Florida beginnings more than 50 years ago when a hamburger cost 18¢ and a Whopper sandwich cost 37¢, Burger King Corporation has established restaurants around the world – from Australia to Venezuela. In 1967, the Minneapolis-based Pillsbury Company acquired the Company, which then had 8,000 employees working in 274 restaurants.
