New Delhi: US-based hamburger chain Burger King has reached a milestone in India by opening its 416th outlet in the country.
Gaurav Singh, Deputy General Manager, Burger King, said in a social media post that the company has opened its 416th store in India in DD Puram, Bareilly. The company has reached the mark in its nine years of operation in India.
“BurgerKing India now opens its 416th restaurant at DD Puram, Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh,” said Singh in a LinkedIn post.
In 2014, Burger King opened its first restaurant in India at Select Citywalk Mall, New Delhi. The chain achieved the milestone of opening its 100th outlet in Jalandhar in 2017, and subsequently, in 2019, it celebrated reaching a store count of 200.

Burger King was founded in 1953 as Insta-Burger King, a 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’.
