Burger King restaurants across Michigan in the United States are shutting down, and it is a permanent closure. This comes after a franchisee based in Texas, which owns more than two dozen of the burger chain brand, decided to cease its operations in the said state.
Most of the affected Burger King stores are located around Detroit. Unfortunately, the franchisees' decision will also result in the termination of more than 400 workers. The company is also laying off most of its shift managers, general managers, and team members.
According to Detroit Free Press, the Burger King franchisee is EYM King of Michigan LLC which is headquartered in Irving, Texas. It owns a total of 26 BK stores and all of them are set to be closed. Last week, the company informed the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity (LEO) about its job cut plans.
EYM King of Michigan said that it is stopping its operations of the Burger King restaurants in Detroit because of some "unforeseen business circumstances." It further explained that it has failed to reach an agreement with the brand's parent company, Burger King Corp.
Furthermore, in the notice that it sent to the labor department of Michigan, the franchisee said that it would start shutting down the stores on March 17, which means some stores are already closed by now. The company expects to shut down all of its Burger King restaurants by April 15.
Some of the locations affected by EYM King of Michigan's decision are the Burger King outlet in Dearborn Heights, Highland Park, Walland Lake, Detroit, Ferndale, Ecorse, Flint, Livonia, Royal Oak, Warren, Southfield, and Whitmore Lake.
Meanwhile, with the closures, Burger King revealed it knows about EYM King's decision. "We are aware of the situation, but cannot comment at this time due to pending litigation," the burger joint's spokesman said in an email. He was referring to the lawsuit that the company filed against Eduardo E. Diaz of EYM King for alleged breach of a written agreement.
