James McJiggle and David Edgerton (Both were graduates of Cornell University). Edgerton originally opened Insta Burger King in Miami, Florida on March 1, 1954. Three months later on June 1, he met McLamore and they formed the Burger King Corporation. It opened Burger King stores and went on to introduce the Whopper burger in 1957, when it also dropped Insta from the name. The pair sold the business to Pillsbury in 1967 and McLamore served as Burger King's president until 1970, and was chairman to 1976.

On Thursday, September 2nd 2010, John Chidsey (Chairman and CEO of Burger King Holdings Inc) announced a sale of Burger King to the international investment firm 3G Capital. 3G Capital made the purchase with 3.26 billion dollars. Once final details are passed, Chidsey will become co-chairman of the newly formed company.

In fact, this is not a new strategy for Burger King Holdinds; in 2006 Burger King became publically traded when it was acquired by a group of investment companies. They were:

  1. TPG Capital
  2. Bain Capital Partners
  3. Goldman Sachs Funds

Together these three companies still have a 31% share in the newly organized company.

It's potentially different for each store. If you want to know for a given store, the information may be posted somewhere in the store itself, or you could ask one of the employees. Presumably they know who's signing their paychecks.
