Burger King is a global chain of hamburger fast food restaurants. There are more than 12,000 outlets in 73 countries; the company has more than 37,000 employees serving approximately 11.4 million customers daily (source).

To be accurate, the new Burger King restaurant is located in town Modřice, which is a part of the Brno aglomeration but refuses to connect with Brno administratively, because it would lose money coming from the huge Olympia mall and other shopping facilities located there.
