Former Taco Bell Crew Member Buys 16 Burger King Restaurants As RBI's Comeback Leans On Franchisees
Jeremy Kline, who started at Taco Bell at 15 and became Burger King North America's franchising director, has purchased 16 Burger King restaurants in Salt Lake City, embodying RBI's strategy to refranchise stores to local operators.

This shift is intended to improve sales and operational efficiency, with early results from new operators showing significant sales increases.
