Burger King coming to SA 2013

This is the best news I have heard all day. Burger King is looking to open it's first fast food outlets in South Africa next year. Founded in 1954, Burger King is the second-largest hamburger chain in the world. The original "Home of the Whopper", it operates in more than12,600 locations worldwide, serving an estimated 11-million customers daily in 83 countries.

The first restaurant will open in Cape Town (woo hoo) during the first half of next year, and a national roll-out will follow. GPI executive chairman Hassen Adams said: "Grand Parade Investments is continually evaluating opportunities that will help support the company’s strategic objectives. Our extensive experience in the management of our outlet-driven business will add substantial value to the newly acquired Burger King master franchise."

Cape Town mayor Patricia de Lille said: "Foreign direct investment that boosts our city, and our country, is warmly welcomed." Apparently the transaction is subject to regulatory approvals so lets hope it all goes through smoothly.
