Burger King Stores Discontinue Satisfries As Sales Fizzle

Lower-fat French fries won’t be sold anymore in most Burger King (BKW) restaurants.

About two-thirds of Burger King Worldwide Inc. stores in the U.S. and Canada are phasing out the fries, dubbed Satisfries, that were introduced less than a year ago. Still, 2,500 locations will continue to offer them as a permanent menu item, the Miami-based company said in an e-mailed statement.

When they were first sold, Burger King said customers would determine how long Satisfries would stay on the menu. The fries, which are designed to absorb less oil, have been sold to more than 100 million people, the company said.
