| 0:00.0 | Let's talk about what's going on with Burger King. It's 955. It's kind of like Casey on |
| 0:04.9 | 93 WIBC burger came planning to shut down 400 US locations. Competition from McDonald's |
| 0:13.6 | in Chipotle. You know, I was driving by I like Burger King. I was driving by Burger King |
| 0:17.9 | yesterday, the one on Rockville road and it looked like a ghost town in there. There |
| 0:22.4 | was not a single car in the parking lot. Yeah. Not a single customer. I didn't even see |
| 0:26.8 | a car for a potential employee. And I thought, Oh, I wonder if that one's closed already. |
| 0:33.4 | But no, the open sign was lit. I do like the Brownsburg Burger King. I've been a staple |
| 0:38.8 | of that for 35 plus years. I do like the Burger King because it is as you alluded to, |
| 0:44.9 | often less busy than a McDonald's. And you can only go to Wendy's so many times before |
| 0:50.1 | they get a restraining order against you. And so yes, and Burger King has, Casey, they |
| 0:55.1 | have up to their coupon game. Recently, there was some mailer coupons that went out that |
| 1:00.0 | have been very valuable for people like me. And they do have some regular specials in |
| 1:04.2 | there that they've invented. So clearly Burger King in a bit of trouble across the |
| 1:08.9 | fruited play. Yeah, it's, it has to do with two of their largest franchisees closing |
| 1:14.7 | some of the stores. And in the first quarter of this year, they already closed 124 locations. |
| 1:20.9 | And now they're expected to close 400 more. So which do you like better? You like the |
| 1:27.1 | Burger King? You like McDonald's? I wouldn't even put Chipotle in the same category. |
| 1:31.5 | Burger King food, I think is better than McDonald's. Kurt Darling agrees he's giving a thumbs |
| 1:36.8 | up. Yeah, flimboiled, right? Yes. It's Kevin and Casey on 93WIBC. Good morning. |
