Burger King encourages customers to eat at McDonalds and KFC

Burger King has issued a statement encouraging people across the UK to order from fast food competitor McDonald’s, following the announcement of a second nationwide lockdown.

On Monday 2 November, the fast food chain shared a statement on its social media platforms with the caption: “We know, we never thought we’d be saying this either...order from McDonald’s.

“We never thought we’d be asking you to do this. Just like we never thought we’d be encouraging you to order from KFC, Subway, Domino’s Pizza, Pizza Hut, Five Guys, Greggs, Taco Bell, Papa John’s, Leon… or any of the other independent food outlets,” it continued.

The brand said it was reminding customers to spend money at “any of our sisterhood chains (fast or not so fast).”
