World’s first Whopper Bar to debut at CityWalk
Orlando Business Journal

Burger King Corp. plans to introduce the first-ever Whopper Bar at Universal CityWalk in the spring.

Burger King (NYSE: BKC) said the new concept, including a smaller footprint and more contemporary design than a typical restaurant, will feature a “Whopper topper” area that will allow buyers to customize their sandwiches. The menu also will have special versions of the signature sandwich, including the Angry Whopper, Western Whopper and the Ultimate Double Whopper.

The new concept also will allow Burger King to reach new customers where it traditionally had trouble operating, said Chuck Fallon, the chain’s president of the North America region, in a prepared statement.

The concept is the first of several expected to launch in the next six to 12 months, according to a news release.

Universal CityWalk is Universal Orlando Resort’s 30-acre restaurant, shopping and nighttime entertainment complex.

Burger King (NYSE: BKC) operates more than 11,500 restaurants nationwide and in 71 countries and U.S. territories worldwide.

Hahaha, too bad Disney didn't continue with MickeyD's this year. That'd be a competition to watch though. Sooner or later McDonald's will open a Bic Mac Bar to compete. Big Macs for a dollar.

McDonald's is still operating at DTD. Since DTD is comparable to Citywalk, that is what I am referring to. :wave:

i have a feeling that this Whopper Bar is a beginning step for Orlando's Citywalk to be just like its Hollywood counterpart (the hollywood Citywalk has a handful of recognizable franchises such as KFC, Subway, and even GameStop).

I prefer BK whoppers over McDonalds burgers. I got Food Poisoning from McD's last time I ate there.
