Burger King opens first outlet in Russia
MOSCOW Burger King on Thursday opened its first outlet in Russia, nearly two decades after its rival McDonald's, looking to capitalize on new markets' growing appetite for fast food.
Burger King, home of the Whopper, opened its first outlet inside a Woqod station, marking the beginning of a long-term commitment by Premier Food Services, a subsidiary of Al Jassim Group and Burger King franchisee in the state of Qatar, and Woqod, the country's leading petroleum and related services marketing company to enhance the diversity of offerings at Woqod services stations.
