By GlobalData“We are thrilled to expand our footprint of Burger King restaurants in western-Iowa, which we expect will provide strong cash flow due to improved economies of scale and increased market share.”
Burger King is a subsidiary of Restaurant Brands International and operates one of the largest fast-food chains in the world.
Last month, the company warned that it may close up to 10% of its outlets in the UK, a move that may lead to between 800 and 1,600 job cuts. The chain operates around 530 restaurants in the country.
