Fast food chains such as Burger King are not just standalone entities; they are often part of larger conglomerates like Restaurant Brands International (RBI), which also owns Tim Hortons, Popeyes, and Firehouse Subs. The 2014 merger of Burger King and Tim Hortons was facilitated by Brazilian firm 3G Capital with backing from Warren Buffett. This merger positioned RBI to capitalize on the growing popularity of its brands, notably Popeyes, which has experienced significant growth since its acquisition, partly due to the successful launch of the Chicken Sandwich in 2019.
