Burger King swallows 35 outlets from Bon-Food

Burger King Singapore has announced an agreement for the acquisition of 35 new Burger King outlets from Bon-Food Pte. Ltd.

The transaction is expected to be complete on Feb. 1, 2010.

These 35 outlets are the bulk of the 40 what Bon-Food operated.

Subsequent to the transaction, Burger King Singapore Pte. Ltd. will operate a total of 39 Burger King restaurants in the market as well as the Whopper Bar restaurant located in Singapore’s Clarke Quay.

Peter Tan, President of Burger King Asia Pacific says the acquisition allows Burger King to further diversify the global company restaurant portfolio and establishes Singapore as the company’s Asia Pacific headquarters, as a strong company market for the region.

Bon-Food has been a Burger King franchisee in Singapore since 1983 when it opened the first restaurant at Holland Village.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
