Burger King has expanded its BK Delivers program to Boston, with five participating restaurants now on the roster and more expected to join.
BK Delivers is also already available in New York, Miami, Houston, Sacramento, Calif., Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Washington, D.C., Phoenix and Denver.
Petru Pusta, director of Retail Innovation for Burger King Worldwide, said the service is performing well in those markets and demand has increased for its expansion.
"This expansion was an easy decision as Boston has some of our most loyal guests and the Burger King brand is excited to offer them the opportunity to enjoy the food they love, delivered to them in the comfort of their home, dorm or office," Pusta said.
BK Delivers has one live delivery restaurant in Boston serving Dorchester, Roxbury, Franklin Field North & South, Ashmont, Washington Park, Grove Hall, St. Marks, West Codman Hills/Lower Mills, Highland Park and Dudley Square. This initial location will serve as a training ground for the market, allowing operators to understand the system and train their crew members prior to expanding the offering to other locations. Burger King plans to open two more BK Delivers sites in the Boston area within the next 2 to 3 weeks and two more this summer.
