Eatery details.

And since we're about to do the history of a place that I have done before, as far as scoring goes, instead of rescoring Burger King, we're gonna decide if it is still deserving of the score it has or if it, if it should be moved.

BK's parent company, RBI, completed its acquisition of Carroll's in May 2024, bringing 1,023 Burger Kings across 23 states under corporate control, a major intervention aimed at modernizing aging restaurants before eventually refranchising many of them.

So basically, like, there's franchise locations and there's corporate locations.

Corporate bought up a, 1,000 franchised locations so that they could bring them up to, like, the, the standardization of how they want to run the corporate locations.

And then once they, like, modernized them they were like, "Okay, these are now available for franchise again."

Someone with restaurant experience, can they say, "I want to franchise that Burger King [laughs] and run it?"

So every restaurant that franchises has their own, like, bar that you have to meet.

I was training at a job, and I went to a Subway, and there, there was something about this guy.
