Burger King
When people think of fast food, the United States usually comes to mind, seeing that a lot of famous food chains are homegrown from the United States, and Burger King is one of them. Under the name of “Insta Burger King”, David Egerton and James McLamore opened the first store in Miami in 1954. They were not aware that their small company would go on to become an international brand. They first sold the company after a decade and has since then gone through numerous different owners. The company is currently owned by a Canadian company named Restaurant Brands International.
