If you happen to be addicted to fast food then you can certainly relate to the great amount of pain that comes attached to this story.
Fast food lovers are heartbroken after leading burger franchise, Burger King has opted to shut down close to 7000 stores from all over the world.
And the company says that this might be the beginning because it has reported some major declines in sales that have not really worked in its favor.
This is something that has been occurring for quite some time now and keeping in mind the current downfall of the world’s economy, it’s impossible to function with such a response, they added.
The move comes as the brand tries to fix up its image and bring out a new and improved outlet and interface for customers who feel it’s about time it got a revamp.
But the news of so many outlets shutting their stores in differnet places around the globe is heartbreaking for those that still enjoy it so much.
Be it their crispy onion rings and chicken tenders or their classic whopper meals too- people adore it to the core and it’s quite easy to see why the news is going viral as we speak.
The company added how the 7000 stores that were closed were all in the US but major shutdowns of all others around the world that were not up to the mark or were not delivering great performances would be axed first.
It was announced during the firm’s recent earnings call how it was just doing poorly in terms of sales and revenue, missing out on forecasted targets by miles. Therefore, change was inevitable.
This has caused Burger King to go from the second position for the biggest fast food outlet in the US to third. The top spot is McDonald’s while position number two now belongs to Wendy’s.
