Burger King Posts Profit Gains In Third Quarter

MIAMI (CBS4) ― Burger King Holdings Inc., headquartered in Miami, reported on Thursday that strong same-store sales in each of its segments and new restaurant growth helped profit rise 21 percent in its third fiscal quarter.  In the quarter, Burger King continued its global expansion including the opening of the first restaurant in Colombia and three franchised airport locations in China. 

The company said net income rose to $41-million, or 30 cents per share, from $34 million, or 25 cents per share, last year. Revenue rose 10 percent to $594-million from $539-million last year.
