The world's first Burger King Whopper Bar opens in Florida

As we forewarned in October, the very first Burger King Whopper Bar opened Tuesday in Orlando, Florida, at Universal Orlando's CityWalk complex. The new concept, which the number-two chain intends to roll out in five more locations in 2009 and up to 500 overall, does away with the harsh institutional decor and seating of a traditional Burger King in favor of rounded a counter, an open kitchen, fewer menu options, and much less floor space.
