Looking to order some takeout but bored of pizza or your local Chinese restaurant? Burger King in Glendale, California hopes customers will try out their new delivery service.
Franchise owner, Bob Stevens, says it's the first Burger King in California to offer the service. Although delivery soon will be offered at more than 15 locations in the San Francisco area, Stevens' Glendale store is the pilot project in the state.
"We were chosen to be the first Burger King franchisee to have delivery in the state, so it's quite a feather in our cap," Stevens said, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Burger King's delivery program has already been rolled out in Miami, Washington and Houston.
Chris Schmutzer, managing director of Stevens' eight Burger King locations, said that when he heard in November that Burger King was rolling out a delivery program, he pushed for his franchise to be involved.
"I really believed in it, and I also thought that we, in our restaurants, we operate at a really high level," he said. "I wanted to be the seed store."
In addition to the location on Central Avenue, Stevens and Schmutzer will be rolling out delivery at their Burger King on Eagle Rock Boulevard in Eagle Rock next week.
