Dasburg considered sale - Brief Article

Eurofood, April 26, 2001

Chief executive officer of the Diageo-owned fastfood unit Burger King, John Dasburg, has confirmed he thought about selling the company.

As Burger King's parent company becomes totally spirits based, combined with the malcontent amongst many US-based franchisees, a spin-off of Burger King has been on the cards for some time now. Dasburg confirmed he had held talks with a buyout firm. "It is true that I have had a conversation with Texas Pacific Group." The US firm has a reputation for turning around under performing companies.
