What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Burger King's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the sales distribution data for Traditional Restaurants is derived from restaurants that have been operating between 70 years and 1 year. This data is based on restaurants open and operating for the entire 12-month period ended December 31, 2024.
This information is relevant for prospective franchisees as it provides insight into the longevity and potential performance of Burger King restaurants. The wide range of operating years suggests that both new and established locations can be successful. It's important to note that the sales figures do not reflect costs of sales, operating expenses, or other costs that must be deducted to obtain net income or profit.
Prospective franchisees should conduct their own independent investigation of costs and sales potential for their proposed restaurant, consulting with an accountant, attorney, and existing Burger King franchisees to gain a comprehensive understanding of the financial aspects of operating a Burger King restaurant. The FDD also mentions that Burger King will make available, upon reasonable request, the data used in preparing Item 19, in a form that does not identify any individual franchisee-owned restaurant.
