Burger King Franchise Disclosure Document

Burger King is one of the largest global fast-food franchises, known for flame-grilled burgers, particularly the Whopper. The brand was founded in 1954 in Miami, Florida, and now operates tens of thousands of locations in more than 100 countries. Its restaurants are typically freestanding units or located in high-traffic retail areas. Burger King's franchise model requires a substantial investment due to the cost of real estate, kitchen equipment, and staffing. Franchisees benefit from global brand recognition, established supply chains, and robust marketing support. The business is built on high-volume sales with relatively low per-item margins, and profitability is driven by efficient operations, drive-thru performance, and consistent customer traffic.

With nearly 40,000 FDDs collected over the past 25+ years, our growing database is maintained and enriched by a dedicated information management team that ensures accuracy, completeness, and timely updates. Just as important, FRANdata understands that while FDDs offer a wealth of standardized information, they may not address every question a stakeholder has—particularly when it comes to franchise performance, operational nuances, or long-term growth potential. That's why we complement the information in FDDs with broader research and advisory capabilities, helping clients interpret what's there, understand the context, and access deeper insights when needed.
