Passed by Burwood area, and noticed that Australia's one and only remaining Burger King outlet is no more. It has not been transformed into a Hungry Jack's. I covered this topic in a previous post. I was told that they are two separate companies; they just happen to have a very close relationship. Beats me, but their logos are suspiciously similar. Story goes that when Burger King first came to Australia, the name was already trademarked by a guy named Jack Crown. Hence, Burger King outlets were named Hungry Jack's. 
The only places where you can find Burger King outlets in Australia were in international airports, which are apparently not covered by the Crown licensing deal. As to how Burwood managed to have the last Burger King outlet, I don't know. But that's not important anymore.Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated!
