Burger King Is Closing 400 Stores; Will It Happen In Delaware?

The king of burgers is rethinking some of its business strategies.

“Restaurant Brands International Inc., the parent company of Burger King, announced it is preparing to shutter between 300 to 400 locations, and its CEO said the company has a history of shutting down “a couple hundred” Burger King locations every year” according to NJ.com.

So far 124 Burger Kings have closed in 2023. The 400 store mark is planned to be hit by the end of the year.

So will the closures take place in Delaware?

There is no definite answer right now, but Burger King says it will be closing stores in certain regions of the country.

Meridian Restaurants says it will be closing 27 of their 100 Burger King locations.

According to The Street, the following states will be affected:

  • Michigan
  • Minnesota
  • Montana
  • Kansas
  • Nebraska
  • North Dakota
  • Utah
  • Wyoming

There is other news that may give Delaware Burger King fans some relief!

According to Business Insider “While some of its franchisees struggle, Burger King is showing early signs of a turnaround. The chain last reported same-store sales in the US grew by 5% at the end of last year. Last fall, the brand unveiled its “reclaim the flame” plan, which involves investing $400 million into marketing and remodeling top restaurants.”

Take a deep breath! It looks like the whopper spot is closing only certain stores that are franchised by certain companies. The closings are spread out over other states, but seem to be concentrated to the above list.

These Delaware Fast Food Joints Have Treats For Your Dog

These Delaware Fast Food Joints Have Treats For Your Dog

It’s true that plenty of restaurants in Delaware go above and beyond to serve up delicious eats for their human customers – but now they’re taking things one step further by offering treats for your dog.

While most dogs have probably tried the famous Pup Cup from Starbucks, some of these other treats aren’t as well known.  My dog LOVES pup cups.  She eats it up so fast and then the small cup is left hanging on her little nose.  It’s too cute!  She will be pumped to know there are other places we can go now too!

Unfortunately, these specialty treats are usually only available upon request so you’ll have to ask when stopping for a bite with your pup.  They really should add these items to the menu.  Why do we have to guess?

I wonder if there are other places with options for dogs?  Why is it on trend to keep these treats a secret?  This is why we have to spoil our pets ourselves.

So, where are these fast food joints with treats for our pups?  Reader’s Digest put together a list and these are the places here in Delaware.

  • Dairy Queen

    Your dog will go nuts for a Pup Cup. It’s a mini sundae with Dairy Queen’s vanilla soft serve, topped with a dog biscuit.

  • Sonic

    It makes sense that Sonic would be a pet-friendly restaurant, since you never even step foot inside. You order and eat in your car or at an outdoor dining area. If you have your pet with you, they’ll often bring you a doggie treat so you won’t have to eat alone.

  • Dunkin’

    Some Dunkin’ locations offer puppy lattes, or a Cup for Pup,  a small cup of whipped cream.

  • Ben & Jerry’s

    Frozen treats made specially for dogs

  • Shake Shack

    The Pooch-ini is a custom-made dessert consisting of dog biscuits, peanut butter sauce and vanilla custard.  Reader’s Digest says you can also ask for a Bag O’Bones, which is five ShackBurger dog biscuits in a convenient doggy bag.

  • Chick-fil-A
