Restaurant Brands International is buying Carrols Restaurant Group , the largest Burger King franchisee in the U.S., for about $1 billion in cash. Restaurant Brands will pay $9.55 per share to acquire Carrols, which operates more than 1,000 Burger King restaurants and 60 Popeyes locations. Burger King sales had been lagging behind the competition, and Wendy's overtook it as the second-largest burger chain by U.S. sales. Restaurant Brands plans to remodel 600 of Carrols' Burger King locations rapidly over the next five years and then sell them back to franchisees, Tom Curtis, president of Burger King U.S. and Canada, said. Correction: Restaurant Brands International currently owns 175 Burger King locations.

REUTERS/Benoit Tessier Acquire Licensing RightsNov 3 (Reuters) - Restaurant Brands International (QSR.TO) missed market estimates for quarterly sales on Friday as still-high inflation pressured consumer spending at its Burger King chain, signaling that the brand's turnaround efforts were falling short. The weak sales come despite Burger King executing a $400 million turnaround plan by streamlining menus, targeting younger consumers through better advertising and improving restaurant technology. Total same-store sales at the Burger King division rose 7.2% in the third quarter, missing estimates of 8.71%, according to LSEG IBES data. Toronto, Canada-based Restaurant Brands posted an adjusted profit of 90 cents per share, beating estimates of 86 cents.

Burger King said it demanded the main operator of its franchises suspend restaurant operations in Russia, but that "they have refused." Restaurant Brands International on Friday reported weaker-than-expected quarterly revenue, hurt by Burger King's disappointing same-store sales growth. Restaurant Brands said that unfavorable currency exchange rates hurt Tim Hortons, which accounts for roughly 60% of the company's revenue. Tim Hortons' same-store sales growth of 6.8% met Wall Street's expectations. Popeyes was Restaurant Brands' only chain to outperform expectations for same-store sales growth.

The burger chain in September unveiled the $400 million turnaround plan it crafted with franchisees after several years of disappointing sales. In 2020, Burger King slid to the No. And the gulf between Burger King and its top rival McDonald's has only widened. But Burger King is trying to launch a comeback, with its parent company pouring money into restaurant renovations and advertising. So far this year, two Burger King franchisees have filed for bankruptcy.

Seven months after Burger King unveiled a strategy to revive its U.S. business, the chain is selling more Whoppers than ever before. Burger King also held roundtables for general managers in 45 cities. Additionally, Burger King launched its "You Rule" marketing campaign in the fall. The chain's mascot, the Burger King, is nowhere to be seen in the ads. Two Burger King franchisees have filed for bankruptcy so far in 2023.
Restaurant Brands International announced Wednesday that it is tapping former Domino's Pizza CEO Patrick Doyle as its executive chair. Doyle's appointment comes as Restaurant Brands tries to turn around Burger King's U.S. business. The Brazilian private equity firm took Burger King private in 2010, merged it with Tim Hortons in 2014 and named the new company Restaurant Brands International. To receive the performance share units, Restaurant Brands' stock will have to compound annually at least 6%, with the payout increasing if shares rise 10% and 15% annually. After leaving Domino's, Doyle joined the Carlyle Group as an executive partner focused on acquisitions.
