Some Floridians who want a quick, and cheap, burger might consider Burger King a decent option. After all, like many fast food joints this summer, Burger King has a meal deal for $5. Unfortunately, one Florida Burger King – on Melbourne’s New Haven Avenue – was recently temporarily shut down after a state inspection.
About Burger King In Florida: Not all Floridians may know that Burger King, which debuted in the 1950s in Jacksonville, used to be named Insta-Burger King.
That chain didn’t exactly take off, but things changed after the invention of the Whopper. After that, Burger King began growing rapidly, and it currently has around 506 stores in Florida, the most of any other state.
It remains at home in Florida because Burger King is headquartered in Miami-Dade County. Unfortunately, at the end of 2023, Burger King announced that it would be shuttering 400 stores. In fact, I wrote about Florida losing two stores that had served for 40 years in Jacksonville.
The Burger King that is the subject of the closure located at 1895 W New Haven Avenue gets mixed reviews, earning 3 out of 5 stars on Google reviews. Although some said their food was hot and fresh, others complained about incorrect orders and poor customer service.
