BURGER KING CHINA
We financed the growth of Burger King China from 56 restaurants to more than 1,300 high-margin restaurants — an example of the organic growth we help our partner companies achieve.

The Continuity
Over 20 years, the middle class in the world’s emerging markets will expand by more than 1.5 billion people. The needs and aspirations of this new class drive increasing demand for convenience products, healthcare services, and private education.
Why We Invested
Ours is not a “buyout” firm; we provide growth capital. We deploy our capital to help our companies expand and prosper globally — each in its own way. Burger King China is one of several businesses we have helped build to serve the convenience needs of this new middle class, alongside Circle K Mexico and TAB Gida.
The Outcome
- Restaurants at entry: 56
- Restaurants today: more than 1,300
- Growth strategy: organic, high-margin expansion
