I know this news is very old, but i thought I'd share it with you guys here. I wrote this for a local upcoming magazine - "The Teenager" about a month ago. Still relevant so here it is. Hope you guys like it.
At the end of fiscal year 2012, Burger King reported it had almost 12,700 outlets in 73 countries. Sounds pretty boring, eh? But, what you’re about to read next wont. Burger king will now be operating in 74 countries. Again, you’re compelled to say “so what?” Well, I’ve got some great news to all you burgers out there along with all of you food lovers. The 74th country Burger king will operate in will be PAKISTAN. See I told you there’d be good news.
If the crown doesnt mean your king, then i dont know what does. |
Although I’ve been to burger king a lot of times, heck I was
there every other day to enjoy their milkshakes and ice cream (which I absolutely
love and miss); I never really tasted their burgers because of the Haraam issue
in western countries, people in the middle east were much more lucky. Along
with me, several other people had faced a similar dilemma. However most of the
Pakistani people, have never been to a burger king franchise. But we finally
get the chance to taste their meaty delights and enjoy eating in a fast food
joint taken for granted in developed countries around the world.
The news of Burger king coming into town spread viral within
a day when a person happened to come across the Help wanted advertisement by BK
in a leading newspaper and happened to upload it on Facebook. The amounts of
shares, likes and comments on that picture show how excited people are. However, the burgers in Karachi are highly
worried about where Burger king will locate. Competitor Hardees, decided to set
up their first branch in North Nazimabad which is far for the burgers of
Defence and Clifton who fear leaving their territory so that they can prevent
themselves from contamination from the mailas (I’m not saying non defence
people are mailas, im just stating their views). Burgers in Karachi fear that
Burger King will do the same. We do not have any information on where Burger
king is locating in K- town, however we do believe that it’s a step forward in
globalization for Pakistan. Who knows? Maybe Baskin Robins, Taco Bell,
Starbucks, Tim Hortons, Wendy’s and other famous chains will decide to expand
into Pakistan. That sounds like delicious news for everyone.
For now, we wait until Burger king launches its first branch in Pakistan. We wait for their whoopers, we wait for their milkshakes we wait for their advertisements and we wait to hear their motto, "Have it your way".
