Selling Burger King - GoFuckYourself.com

Burger King (BKC), the nation's No. 2 burger chain, is reportedly in talks with private equity firms over a possible sale.

Over the past two years, McDonald's shares are up 20%, while Burger King's have dropped 35%.

Burger King is also up against Yum Brands (YUM), which owns KFC, Pizza Hut, and Taco Bell.

Burger King is in a tough spot, which makes it seem that even a private equity group would not pay a huge premium for the company.

Good luck with the sale!

I read 36000 stores locations Macdonald and 12000 Burger King worldwide

Strange. I swear just yesterday I read that McDonald's was one of the few big fast food chains to lose last quarter. Of course the seven quarters prior to that could have been decent.

Burger King is probably my favorite of the fast food chains, I like their burgers and chicken sandwiches.

Burger King is being sold to private equity firm 3G Capital in a deal valued at $3.26bn (£2.1bn), it has been announced.

The fast food chain, with 12,100 outlets, had been the subject of takeover rumours for days.

Burger King floated on Wall Street in 2006, four years after being bought by a group of private equity firms.

The group - TPG Capital, Bain Capital and Goldman Sachs Funds - still own 31% of Burger King shares.

The deal, worth $24 a share, comes after Burger King's stock price surged more than 15% on Wednesday and opened on Thursday up 23% at $23.25.

In a statement, the companies said that the deal represented a 46% premium to Burger King's share price before news of a possible takeover surfaced.

Burger King, the second largest hamburger chain behind McDonald's, has struggled during the recession and last week forecast weak demand for the rest of the year.

Under the terms of the deal with 3G, Burger King's chairman and chief executive John Chidsey will become co-chairman of the board. Alex Behring, managing partner of US-based 3G, will be the other co-chairman.

3G will also take on Burger King's debt, valuing the deal at $4bn in total.

I prefer Taco Bell, you get a free colon cleansing with each meal.

tiger · 09-02-2010, 11:56 AM

Burger King has always been better but that's not saying much. I won't eat anything from McDonalds no matter what.

In Spain & France you hardly see a BurgerKing, yet lots of McDonalds. So its Europe where the larger gap in outlets are placed.

With the prices of the burgers at BK, you would have only thought they needed a third of the outlets for the same profits

John-ACWM · 09-02-2010, 01:03 PM

Europe is indeed full of McD's. I personally rarely go to one. The food tastes really yummy but I know it's not healthy.

Semi-Retired-Dave · 09-02-2010, 01:05 PM

McDonald's came up with their New Coffee and Fruit Drinks.
Also their adult menu from a few years ago.
