Burger King Holdings Inc. is selling itself to investment firm 3G Capital in a deal valued at $3.26 billion. THE UPSHOT: Being acquired by an owner with deep pockets could give Burger King some financial breathing room to refresh its restaurants and expand internationally after years of playing follow-the-leader with McDonald's.
THE BUYER: 3G Capital owns stakes in brewer Anheuser-Busch InBev; Lojas Americanas, a major retailer in Latin America; and America Latina Logistica, the largest railroad and logistics company in Latin America.

Best $1 burger IMO. Great name too, Buck Double.
They’re gonna put guacamole on all the whoppers. “Have it our way — stinking gringo!”
I hope they get rid of that stupid “King” thing.
I couldn’t say. I’ve never had a Royale.
This is the death of BK. The leveraged up debt load and interest costs will sink the company....
Will they have Bud Lite on the dollar menu?
The drive-up window will be better than ever.....
I’m partial to the Big Kahuna Burger myself.
“It’s the cornerstone of any nutritious breakfast.”
I’m old enough to recall when the L&L Drive Inn in South Tucson served pitchers of beer with some of the best Mexican food ever!!
We knew they were in trouble when the Big Whopper became about the size of a White Castle slider.
“Being acquired by an owner with deep pockets could give Burger King some financial breathing room...”

Being acquired by an owner with deep pockets will make Burger King an even bigger target for the permanent American underclass of professional parasites, and their punk, attack dog trial lawyers.
"I'm not a slider! I'm a Whopper Jr.!"
I know it’s sad that I know this, but Jules was eating a Big Kahuna burger.
I wonder if the Saudi’s would let Burger King open a restaurant in Riyadh?
Like this one?
There's nothing that would prevent Burger King from operating in Saudi Arabia, as long as the meat is prepared Halal. I'm guessing the Mecca BK (there is one) doesn't employ infidels.
