where Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2010/01/burger_king_adds_beer_to_menu.html?sc=fb&cc=fp 3:19 pm January 22, 2010 By Frank James Burger King may be number three after McDonalds and Subway in terms of sales in the fast-food restaurant business. But it plans to be the first of the top three chains in at least one area -- serving beer. And I'm not talking about the root beer. Reports are that Burger King will be serving beer at a location in Miami Beach which will be the first in the chain to serve alcohol. The Associated Press reports: At the Whopper Bar South Beach, guests can pair a Whopper sandwich with Anheuser-Busch and MillerCoors brews. With fries, the combo will run $7.99. The restaurant will offer outdoor dining, a walk-up window and delivery service. It's scheduled to open mid-February. The announcement was made Friday. Morningstar analyst R.J. Hottovy says adding beer at selected locations around the world is part of Miami-based Burger King's effort to reinvent itself as a fast-food restaurant with a sit-down feel. Evidently, fast-food restaurants, referred to as quick-service restaurants by insiders, are looking for ways to slow their customers down so they spend more time at the restaurants, the thinking being the longer customers remain in the restaurant the more likely they are to buy desserts and such, adding to the operator's profit margins. Beer should certainly do the trick in slowing down a lot of customers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

where Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 In KC, there could be gas stations or stores right across the street (the state line) from one other that sell beer of the same brand with different alcohol contents. A Quick Trip was demolished this summer, then rebuilt 25 feet away, for this reason. I dont really fuck with phast fuedz, but I do bring my own beer into this one mexican spot.
