For the Burger King 'Non-Traditional Restaurants' sales distribution data, what is the range of operating years for the restaurants included?

According to Burger King's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the sales distribution data for Non-Traditional Restaurants includes restaurants that have been operating for a range of 1 to 50 years. This data is derived from a subset of Non-Traditional Burger King restaurants within the franchise system. Specifically, the information is based on restaurants open and operating for the entire 12-month period ending December 31, 2024.

It is important to note that not all Non-Traditional restaurants are included in this sales distribution. Some restaurants were excluded from the calculation due to temporary or permanent closures during 2024, or because they opened in 2024 and did not operate for the entire 12-month period. The document specifies that none of the permanently closed restaurants had been open for less than 12 months before closing, ensuring a minimum operational history for the included data.

For a prospective franchisee, this information provides insight into the longevity and potential performance of Non-Traditional Burger King locations. Understanding the range of operating years can help in assessing the maturity and stability of these types of restaurants. However, it is crucial to remember that past performance is not indicative of future results, and individual outcomes may vary. Franchisees should conduct their own due diligence and consult with financial advisors to make informed decisions.
