The BURGER KING® brand’s presence in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) dates back to 1992 when the first BURGER KING® restaurant opened in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Since then, the company has steadily expanded its operations to emerge as one of the fastest growing QSR (Quick Service Restaurant) chains in the region, thus bringing significant investment and employment to the local communities in which it operates. Today, there are more than 250 BURGER KING® restaurants in the MENA region across 9 countries.
