the taste experience at BURGER KING® - 1 february 2014

My expectations were surpassed right from the word go! From the very friendly service, the presentation of my whopper to my first bite through to finish. It was a truly delicious fast food meal. Having peaked my curiosity, I viewed the company website info and can endorse their website content as matching my taste experience!

the ENTERTAINMENT experience at the BURGER KING® opening

What a wonderful atmosphere! As I wrote on twitter wrapping up my day “The best MC (Elly) and dancers (S.M.D), the best burgers (Whoppers) and coffee (LavAzza) and the best music (Mi Casa). Simply the best!

Not forgetting @snappamedia!

BURGER KING® Quality STANDARD a first obligation

 

When it comes to freshness and quality, BURGER KING® set their own standards. Every patty is freshly grilled for each guest; this is what the BURGER KING® stamp means: ‘Freshly flame-grilled’.

Better taste with a good conscience.

Grilling is one of the leanest ways to cook meat, and BURGER KING® also make sure they know exactly what is in their ingredients.

WITH CHILDREN IN MIND – THE KING BOX™

BURGER KING® champions a responsible approach to advertising aimed at children. As part of this voluntary commitment, they only advertise products which correspond to specific nutritional guidelines. This means that they only promote the KING BOX™ with fewer than 560 kcal in each menu, without artificial colours and flavourings. 

the American success story NOW IN JOHANNESBURG

The very first BURGER KING® restaurant in South Africa opened its doors in May 2013. There are six restaurants in Cape Town and entered the more lucrative Gauteng market this weekend.

Three stores opened yesterday, Saturday 1 February 2014 at Park Station and Rivonia Road in Johannesburg, and at a Sasol forecourt in Centurion.

Burger King entered the local market through a joint venture with JSE-listed Grand Parade Investments, and recently signed an exclusive agreement with Sasol to roll out stores at Sasol’s fuel retail sites, initially in Gauteng. Burger King SA CEO Jaye Sinclair said the chain’s performance at its six Western Cape stores had been "absolutely phenomenal, way beyond any sort of expectation we might have had".

Burger King would have five stores open in Gauteng by the end of next month and would also look to enter the KwaZulu-Natal market this year. Burger King plans to use South Africa as a platform to expand into fast-growing African countries. Its local licence agreement includes Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Mauritius. A move north of South Africa’s borders is only likely to happen in 18 to 24 months’ time.
