Burger King has announced plans to open 200 new restaurants throughout the UK over the next four years. The fast food chain is planning to expand following a sharp rise in profits.
The burger giant has yet to reveal the locations of the new branches, but says it has “good visibility” as to the regions it wants to expand in. Burger King's revenue increased by 68% in 2021 to £211.7million.
That revenue increase was driven by a 46% rise in like-for-like sales, according to the Mirror, while operating profits recovered to £33.4million after the company posted £7.5million losses amid the Covid pandemic in 2020. Burger King said it benefited from the addition of 48 new owned restaurants last year.
