Burger King
The United States is synonymous with fast food, and not for no reason. With so many indigenous burger joints around, it’s no surprise that places like Burger King, the first of which was created by James McLamore and David Egerton, are so prominent in people’s understanding of the country. The partners could never have expected that they would soon be the literal kings of burgers back in 1954. They did not hold on to it for very long, however, and the company has changed hands several times after ten years of the partner’s original ownership. Currently, a Canadian business known as Restaurant Brands International owns it. The kings of burgers continue to be backed by New York City’s 3G Capital.
