Del Taco
Del Taco first came into existence in the 1960s with a Mexican-themed setting but which does not only serve Mexican dishes. They serve various burgers and fries, too, and served from over 564 stores, which are mostly in the Western regions and Southwest of the United States. In 2020, management announced they would be closing out a few stores – more so the ones that are less popular and mostly on the franchise side. Levy Acquisition purchased Del Taco in 2015 and became a public company at the time. The restaurant was being operated in 15 states, and with plans to expand, they didn’t see much success on the Eastern side as they pushed to expand in Detroit. But, all in all, we can say their profits are still in a battle with Taco Bell.

Burger King
So many Americans, but also people worldwide, love Burger King. In the U.S., the hottest competitors of Burger King are Wendy’s and McDonald’s. In recent times, the fast-food outlet announced they would be closing an average of 200 to 250 stores that were underperforming. This was a major increase from the previous years, where only 100 to 150 stores had been closed for about the same reason. In 1966, the company was founded in Jacksonville, Florida, and was initially known as “Insta-Burger King”, now it has its headquarters in Miami, Florida. Despite such a high number of closures, there are still approximately 17,800 restaurants across the United States.
