[Financial News] Burger King invited firefighters affiliated with the Seoul Metropolitan Fire and Disaster Headquarters and their families to a hands-on hamburger-making event and delivered 1,190 Whopper combos to firefighters.
According to industry sources on the 9th, BKR held an experience event after inviting firefighters affiliated with the Seoul Metropolitan Fire and Disaster Headquarters and their families to the Burger King Flame Lab on the 6th to mark Firefighters’ Day.
The event was part of BKR’s social contribution campaign, “Stand By You,” and was organized to express gratitude and support to firefighters and the family members who have supported them.
At the event, held at Flame Lab, Burger King’s menu research and development and experience space, firefighters made their own Whoppers and spent time sharing them with their families.
One firefighter who attended the event said, “It was meaningful to be able to make Whoppers ourselves with our families amid our busy daily lives and create special memories,” adding, “I’m grateful that it seems to have become a wonderful memory my child won’t forget, too.”
In addition to the invitation event, Burger King delivered 1,190 Whopper combos to frontline personnel at fire stations and safety centers in the Seoul area in recognition of the hard work of 119 emergency responders. Since late last year, BKR has expanded its Stand By You campaign company-wide under the slogan “Supporting those who protect everyday life, right by their side” and has continued its charitable activities for firefighters, sanitation workers, emergency and trauma medical staff, and others.
A Burger King representative said, “We organized this event to express our deep gratitude to firefighters who are responsible for citizens’ safety and to their families,” adding, “We will continue to support those working hard throughout society through the Stand By You campaign.”
