Burger King Restaurants of Canada, Inc.
 

The flame-broiled WHOPPER sandwich, our signature burger, has driven our growth to over 11,500 restaurants worldwide! These are exciting times at Burger King with the launch of several new menu items. Burger King's new line of Salads, Chicken Fries, BK Stackers and the launch of our Breakfast Value Menu has generated much enthusiasm from the public. Burger King is focusing on recruitment of multi-unit operators with foodservice experience for most parts of Canada but will consider single unit operators in selected markets. Single unit operators must have a minimum net worth of $800,000 of which at least $400,000 must be unencumbered or liquid. The financial requirements of multi-unit operators will be based on the expansion potential of the operator and territory.
