this apparently happened with a dairy queen in the town where my parents grew up in, but they didn't even change the branding. they just went rogue and it took a long ass time for people to notice

"What are you getting for lunch?"
"Burger."
extra long chli chicken
I mean it's better for society since Burger King won't be getting so much moeny for a name.
All I know is that I am getting some mixed feelings from the menu items with names like "Big Fux XXL"
Bacon fux
Not to be confused with the Burger King that is not a Burger King but isn't fake.

Cracked.com? Pepperidge Farm remembers
Wait until you find out it used to be a paper magazine
It is probably like the KFC in a neighboring town. They owner was so cheap and let it get run into the ground. When he stopped paying the chain they were going to come remove his signs. So he Painted Chicken over all of them and started buying the same or similar products from the the local food distributor he got a lot of KFC's products from. Of course it was his shitty management that lead to that and things didn't improve after it was just 'Chicken'. It stayed there three or four more years though.
What could they have done worse than being a burger king
Maybe they were too good
very real chance the corporation raised the prices of the franchise ingerdients without raising the prices of the franchise menu items and this location's owner had a relationship with the local ingredient distributor, ran the numbers, and figured they could sell enough burgers in the local community to make more money than they would keeping the random walk-ins who go into a burger king because they know what they're getting.
Being a burger ~~prince~~ Andrew?
How many fucking people did their food have to kill to lose the Burger King franchise?
Sorry, that's an trade secret.
Probably gave too many people the correct order. That goes against the BK franchise code if the one near me is anything to go by.
I was thinking about trying Jack-in-the-Box for the first time so I downloaded the app, and my local joint wasn’t listed. Did some digging and they were apparently delisted because their google reviews were truly awful. Exclusively one stars for the last year. Stuff like “person in the drive through window tried to climb out of the window like the girl from The Ring and fight me” and “the chicken was still straight up frozen, like directly from the freezer not a little cold in the middle”. I thought they always had a long line because it was good, but it turns out people get stuck in that line for an hour and can’t get out.
That's too bad, because Jack-in-the-box is one of the better chains IMO.
That probably shows they're at least still trying.
It’s like the Avignon Anti-Papacy.
The Burger War Of Secession has begun...
How bad does a BK need to be to get kicked out of the worst by far fast food chain?

At first I thought this was part of the No Kings protest.
This doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad shop. Maybe being a franchise wasn't helping their business, so they dropped it.
It might be better than BK, that wouldn't be hard to do. BK is the worst of the major franchise burger shops, by far. I'll eat at Arby's before I eat at a BK.
Say what you will about Arby's...
... There's no "but". I won't stop you.
(Their spicy mayo - sorry, "horseradish sauce" - is pretty good though)

It depends on the country I guess. Here in France I'd do a BK over McDonald's any day. But it would loose to a Roadside (local burger chain) in most cases.

Ingolstadt apparently. I couldn't find the exact one, but there appears to be only 2 burger kings in the city, and I suspect it's this one (warning: google streetview)
God what a beautiful city Ingolstadt looks like from above though, with the Danube flowing through it, and the old city having an actual green belt around it
