Burger King and Carrols Restaurant Group, LLC, announced today the upcoming Ribbon-Cutting Celebration of their remodeled restaurant in Kannapolis, North Carolina, featuring the brand’s new “Sizzle” design, which was first announced in October 2023. The new restaurant is designed to enhance all aspects of the Guest experience, including digital improvements, an updated drive-thru and pickup experience, and signature design elements to better serve the community.
An enhanced customer experience
This re-opening was made possible by Carrols Restaurant Group, LLC. (“Carrols”), The Burger King brand’s largest U.S. operator. Through its subsidiaries, Carrols operates more than 1,000 Burger King restaurants in 23 states, serving hundreds of communities across the country. Carrols operates over 150 Burger King restaurants in North Carolina, including 42 restaurants in the Charlotte market.
Here’s what our BK Guests will experience when they visit our newly remodeled restaurant at 800 N Cannon Blvd, Kannapolis:
- Digital Ordering Kiosks that allow Guests to place an order for dine-in or carry out more conveniently.
- Enhanced Drive-Thru featuring a new canopied design with an automated drive-thru voice system and double lanes.
- A Designated Pickup Area to make delivery and pickup orders placed through digital channels more seamless.
- Signature Interior Design Elements, including the new “King Booth,” a distinguished space perfect for families and large groups, a “Crown Wall” for a must-have photo moment inspired by the iconic Burger King crown, and a unique Whopper art installation.
- Modern Eye-Catching Exterior with a large Burger King bun logo and “Home of the Whopper” wall.
The new “Sizzle” design concept is an extension of the brand’s goal to achieve an 85-90% modern image across the U.S. by 2028, fueled by more than $700 million in investments since the brand announced its “Reclaim the Flame” strategy in 2022. A key part of the brand’s plan is to refresh the system with committed operators and modernized restaurants designed to enhance the Guest experience and bring “Have it Their Way” to life.
“We are thrilled to bring a modernized Burger King restaurant to the Kannapolis community,” said Liz Smith, Carrols Division Vice President. “After years of serving Guests in the community, we can’t wait for them to experience this state-of-the-art design and create new memories for years to come.”
“We have a great team in place at 800 N Cannon Blvd in Kannapolis,” said Carrols Regional Director Dave Kadel. “Our team is excited to welcome both new and returning Guests to this enhanced restaurant design. The manager and team have worked tirelessly so our guests can experience the ‘You Rule!’ motto firsthand.”
In coordination with The Chamber, a Leading Business in Cabarrus, Carrols Restaurant Group will host an official public ribbon-cutting ceremony on April 8 at 11:00 a.m.
