US-based hamburger chain Burger King has marked a milestone in India with the launch of its 416th outlet in the country.
Gaurav Singh, Deputy General Manager at Burger King, took to social media to announce the opening of the company’s 416th store in DD Puram, Bareilly. This significant milestone comes within the span of nine years since the brand commenced its operations in India.
“BurgerKing India now opens its 416th restaurant at DD Puram, Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh,” said Singh in a LinkedIn post.
In 2014, Burger King opened its first restaurant in India at Select Citywalk Mall, New Delhi. The chain achieved the milestone of opening its 100th outlet in Jalandhar in 2017, and subsequently, in 2019, it celebrated reaching a store count of 200. In 2021, Burger King introduced its cafe format, BK Cafe, at Churchgate, Mumbai.
Established in 1953 as Insta-Burger King, a restaurant chain based in Florida, Burger King underwent a change in ownership in 1954 due to financial challenges. David Edgerton and James McLamore, the franchisees based in Miami, acquired the company and subsequently renamed it ‘Burger King’.
