Burger King Closed 90 US Stores in Fiscal Year 2025

Burger King closed 90 U.S. locations in fiscal year 2025, marking a net decrease of 51 stores from the previous year. The fast-food chain operated 6,650 locations across the United States at the end of fiscal year 2025, down from 6,701 at the start of the year. Of the 6,650 total locations, 5,518 were franchised and 1,132 were company-owned. The closures comprised 76 franchised restaurants and 14 company-owned restaurants. This figure includes 13 franchised locations that were reacquired by the franchisor, meaning 63 franchised stores were permanently closed by their operators. Burger King also opened 87 new U.S. locations in fiscal year 2025. However, 48 of these were existing company-owned restaurants sold back to new franchise operators, not entirely new builds.
