Burger King Franchise Owners List: Inside the Ownership Data

DataLane maps roughly 485 Burger King operators running about 8,401 locations across the U.S.—an average of 17.3 locations per operator. Nearly all are franchised, owner-operated businesses, not corporate stores, which is exactly the buyer you can reach with a direct mobile number.

The center of gravity is the multi-unit operator. The 115 operators running 10 or more locations control about 89% of U.S. locations—and it's concentrated at the top: the 10 largest operators hold about 47% of locations, the top 25 about 64%, and the top 50 about 75%. The single largest operator runs roughly 937 locations.

Below the multi-unit tier sits a deep base of smaller owners: 51% of Burger King operators—about 247—run just one or two locations, with another 123 running three to nine. That split is a filter: target the large portfolios for enterprise deals, or the single-store owners for volume—and DataLane tags every record with its location count.

Burger King operators tend to run Burger King and little else: just 20 of the 485 operators in DataLane's dataset also hold another franchise brand, most often Popeyes, Subway, and Pizza Hut. When you reach a Burger King operator, Burger King is effectively their whole business.
