In the 1950s small operators like McDonald’s and Burger King figured out how to commoditize and franchise their burger businesses into global chains. The first to send its fast-food model overseas was Burger King, in 1963, when the company opened a location in San Juan, Puerto Rico. McDonald’s followed in 1967, opening its first location outside the United States in British Columbia, Canada. Today there are more than 39,000 McDonald’s and Burger King locations outside the States. That is an enormous number of burger restaurants.
