Burger King to close The Peak branch on Aug 31

Fast food chain Burger King will be closing The Peak branch at the end of this month, marking the closure of all its urban locations, with the sole exception of the branch located at the airport.

Burger King's franchisee, SSP Hong Kong, has confirmed to Sing Tao Daily—the sister publication of The Standard—that The Peak branch will cease operations on August 31. 

SSP Hong Kong stated that limited-time promotions will be launched at The Peak branch, and the details will be announced this week.

Initially entering the Hong Kong market in the 1980s, Burger King withdrew in 1990 due to intense competition. In 2003, SSP Hong Kong acquired the franchise and successfully reintroduced the brand to the city.
