Then in 1963 two restaurants opened in Puerto Rico for their very first international market. 1975 was the introduction of the “Drive-thru service” in the U.S. Burger King has more products than most companies. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You range from French toast sticks, hash browns, to burgers, fries, salads to shakes, smoothies, and ice cream.
