Up to 400 Burger King locations will close

NBC4, Columbus OH - In a “whopper” of bad news for Burger King lovers, the fast-food burger chain announced that up to 400 of its locations will be closed by the end of the year. Joshua Kobza of Restaurant Brands International Inc., which owns Burger King, confirmed the news to Today.com earlier this week, saying the plan is to close between 300 to 400 stores across the nation. . . Kobza said the company’s focus will now be on working with smaller franchisees and established operators to build or develop existing restaurants.
