Burger King | Centurion Lifestyle Centre

Over 11 million people all over the world walk into a Burger King® restaurant every day. This is because of our reputation for high-quality ingredients, and great tasting and affordable food. But to get to where we are, you first have to know where we started. Founded in 1953 as Insta-Burger King in Jacksonville, Florida before its rebranding in 1954. Burger King® is now the second largest fast-food chain and a household name worldwide. Burger King® South Africa opened its very first restaurant in Cape Town in May 2013. The South African launch was a joint venture between Western Cape-based and Johannesburg Stock Exchange-listed investment company, Grand Parade Investments. Since then, 97 franchises have been opened countrywide. In November 2021, Burger King® was acquired by PE-based private equity firm, Emerging Capital Partners (ECP). Burger King® South Africa plans to keep contributing to the South African economy by increasing its number of outlets, as well as creating even more permanent jobs for historically disadvantaged individuals.
