Burger King® Expands Its Footprint in Japan
Burger King® is set to make a significant mark in Japan with the grand opening of its very first location in Yamanashi Prefecture on June 17, 2025. The new store, located in the Aeon Mall Kofu Showa, signifies Burger King's commitment to reach more customers with its signature flame-grilled, 100% beef patties. This opening will be part of a broader strategy that includes additional locations in Kanagawa, Saitama, and Fukuoka.
As a major player in the fast-food industry, Burger King® takes pride in its unique cooking methods and high-quality ingredients. The upcoming Yamanashi location, along with new stores such as the Yokohama Yodobashi Store and the Saitama Sengen-dai Station West Exit Store, shows the brand's ambition to provide customers with the authentic American fast-food experience that it is known for worldwide.
The Yamanashi store will open at 10 AM on June 17, 2025, located on the third floor of the food court at Aeon Mall Kofu Showa. This strategic placement within a large shopping mall is designed to cater to busy shoppers and commuters, allowing them to enjoy delicious fast food during their errands or daily routines. The other locations set to open include the Yokohama location on June 5, the Saitama location on June 27, and Fukuoka's Sixponmatsu location on June 30.
This expansion marks a significant milestone for Burger King® as it aims to strengthen its presence in Japan. By the end of June 2025, the franchise is projected to have opened a total of 284 stores across the nation, indicating robust growth and a strong belief in the demand for fast food. The company is also looking to establish itself in areas where it has not yet ventured, with a long-term goal of reaching 600 locations by the end of 2028.
The brand is recognized for its delicious flame-grilled burgers, especially the iconic Whopper®, made from 100% beef with fresh vegetables. Key items set to feature on the menu include the celebrated Whopper® Cheese, made with two thick slices of cheddar cheese, fresh lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles, creamy mayonnaise, and ketchup, all served on toasted sesame seed buns. The Whopper® is significantly larger than standard hamburgers, making it a favorite among customers.
