The first Burger King® restaurant was opened in Miami, Florida in 1954 by James McLamore and David Edgerton. In 1957, the Whopper® was launched in the United States. Since 1975, Burger King® has also been established in Europe and the Whopper® is also available here. The ‘huge thing’ (the translation of the word Whopper®) is now sold 2.1 billion times a year worldwide and convinces everywhere with its unique taste.
