Burger King plans to invest USD 400 million in its US restaurants over the next two years to update its stores and boost flagging sales. The burger chain said on Friday the investment includes USD 250 million to revamp stores and update technology and kitchen equipment and USD 120 million for heavier advertising. Burger King also plans to spend USD 30 million upgrading its app to offer smoother ordering and personalized deals. The moves come after several years of disappointing sales at Burger King's 7,058 US stores. In 2019, Burger King's same-store sales or sales at stores open at least a year rose less than 2 per cent. By comparison, market leader McDonald's US same-store sales were up 5 per cent. Burger King's US sales plunged during the pandemic, then recovered in 2021, rising 5 per cent. But that was still slower growth than McDonald's, which saw US same-store sales jump 14 per cent in 2021. Wendy's overtook Burger King as the No. 2 US fast food chain by sales in 2020 and
