Burger King is ushering in a new era of its iconic Whopper.

On July 15, the burger chain will debut the BBQ Brisket Whopper. The burger features slow-cooked BBQ brisket, crispy onions, American cheese and barbeque sauce, on a flame-grilled beef patty with lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise.

The BBQ Brisket Whopper is the newest “Whopper By You,” a campaign from Burger King that allows customers to help shape the menu by submitting their dream Whopper creations.

In February, Burger King introduced the Steakhouse Bacon Whopper, a combination of signature steakhouse favorites like crispy onions, bacon, Swiss cheese, creamy peppercorn aioli, lettuce and tomato.

Are Burger King locations closing?

In April, a major franchisee for Burger King restaurants in the Southeast filed for bankruptcy.

Consolidated Burger Holdings of Destin, Florida filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, USA Today reported. Consolidated Burger Holdings operates 57 Burger King locations, including locations in Valdosta, Georgia and in Tallahassee, West Palm Beach and Naples, Florida. Four of its locations are in Walmart stores.

Consolidated plans to keep its Burger King restaurants open while it seeks to sell the company and its assets.

Consolidated Burger acquired its stores in 2018. For 2024, sales dropped almost $10 million from 2023 and losses grew to $12.5 million. In its filing, the company said it has about $77.9 million in assets and $77.9 million in liabilities.
