Burger King (BK) is an American global chain of hamburger fast food restaurants.

Headquartered in the unincorporated area of Miami-Dade County, Florida, the company was founded in 1953 as InstaBurger King, a Jacksonville, Florida-based restaurant chain.

After Insta-Burger King ran into financial difficulties in 1954, its two Miami-based franchisees David Edgerton and James McLamore purchased the company and renamed it "Burger King." Over the next half-century, the company would change hands four times, with its third set of owners, a partnership of TPG Capital, Bain Capital, and Goldman Sachs Capital Partners, taking it public in 2002.

In late 2010, 3G Capital of Brazil acquired a majority stake in the company, in a deal valued at US$3.26 billion.

The new owners promptly initiated a restructuring of the company to reverse its fortunes.

3G, along with partner Berkshire Hathaway, eventually merged the company with the Canadian-based doughnut chain Tim Hortons, under the auspices of a new Canadian-based parent company named Restaurant Brands International.

Sometimes referred to as "sliders", the burgers were priced at five cents until the 1940s and remained at ten cents for years thereafter.

For several years, when the original burgers sold for five cents, White Castle periodically ran promotional ads in local newspapers which contained coupons offering five burgers for ten cents, takeout only.

McDonald's (or simply as McD) is an American hamburger and fast food restaurant chain.

The first McDonald's franchise using the arches logo opened in Phoenix, Arizona in 1953.

Businessman Ray Kroc joined the company as a franchise agent in 1955 and subsequently purchased the chain from the McDonald brothers.

Based in Oak Brook, Illinois, McDonald's confirmed plans to move its global headquarters to Chicago by early 2018.

Despite the new ownership, Wendy's headquarters remained in Dublin.
