Alsea Puts Burger King Argentina Up for Sale, Taps BBVA

The move reflects a portfolio refocus in a tougher Argentine fast‑food market.

Overview

  • Alsea has begun a formal sale process for Burger King in Argentina and appointed BBVA to approach investors and operators.
  • The planned divestment aligns with a broader pullback from Burger King licenses in Chile and Mexico.
  • Media reports name DGSA, Inverlat and Int Food as potential bidders under early outreach.
  • The Argentine network includes 118 restaurants across 11 provinces, with the brand present in the country since 1989.
  • Alsea says it will continue operating Starbucks locally and notes a precedent with the sale of Burger King Spain to Cinven; it declined to comment beyond official channels.
