As well as being a proud Aussie company Hungry Jack's is the master Australian franchise of the Burger King Corporation. But for reasons too boring to go into here, in 1991 the Burger King Corporation opened it's doors in NSW under the Burger King trademark.
The US chain Burger King couldn't use their own brand in Australia, as the name had been trademarked by takeaway chain based in Adelaide. The Hungry Jack's brand was established instead, and the first store opened in Innaloo, Perth on 18 April 1971.
Hungry Jack's Pty Ltd. is an Australian fast food franchise of the Burger King Corporation. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Competitive Foods Australia (with licensing from Restaurant Brands International), a privately held company owned by Jack Cowin.
If you're strolling through Australia and get a sudden hankering for a Whopper, it might be helpful to know that what you want to look out for is not a Burger King, but a "Hungry Jack's." Just to set the record straight: Hungry Jack's is Burger King. Or rather, Burger King is Hungry Jack's.
It's not rocket science why the Whopper®, our largest burger, has been an Aussie favourite for over 40 years. It's just 100% Aussie beef, flame-grilled to perfection.
Flame-grilled Aussie beef that gives you an irresistible, smoky BBQ flavour. Loaded with crisp fresh lettuce, ripe tomatoes, onion, pickles, mayo and tomato sauce on a toasted sesame seed bun. An Aussie legend for over 40 years.
It's simple: minced beef, possibly cut through with diced onion, bound with an egg. Well-done is the word, even if it's a little dry, that's where the sauce, beetroot and the pineapple come into play.
In and out of Australia
This isn't the first time In-N-Out has been in Australia though, as the famous chain has previously opened pop-up stores in Perth, Sydney and Brisbane, drawing similar crowds keen on trying the iconic takeaway for the first time.
Wendy's built a pop-up restaurant in Sydney in 2021 to gauge what Australian consumers thought of the brand, and executives saw enough success to move forward with the launch. Its point of difference to other competitors is its “made-to-order only” policy and resistance to using heating lamps.
They thought that Jack Cowin as the local Australian had connections within the court system. But Burger King gambled with that assumption…and lost! Following the ruling, Burger King rebranded all of its 81 locations to Hungry Jack's.
Burger King (BK), known as Hungry Jack's in Australia, is an American-based multinational chain of hamburger fast food restaurants. Headquartered in Miami-Dade County, Florida, the company was founded in 1953 as Insta-Burger King, a Jacksonville, Florida–based restaurant chain.
But do you know what Burger King's original name was? Maybe you didn't even know the restaurant ever had another name. Believe it or not, the Home of the Whopper was originally called Insta-Burger King, in celebration of the restaurant's Insta-Broiler machine which was used to make their burgers.
McDonald's and Burger King started in the franchise food business in 1955 and 1954, respectively. 12 McDonald's has always been the larger company, but each firm has unquestionably influenced the other throughout their six-decade-plus rivalry.
Burger King Corporation, restaurant company specializing in flame-broiled fast-food hamburgers. It is the second largest hamburger chain in the United States, after McDonald's, and one of the most successful brands in fast-food history.
McLamore created the burger after he noticed that a rival restaurant was having success selling a larger burger. Believing that the success of the rival product was its size, he devised the Whopper. The name was chosen because he felt that it conveyed "imagery of something big".
