recent Miami Herald article reports that Burger King is planning a major overhaul of its image and menu, attempting to appeal to a broader spectrum of people, including women and families.

New menu items will include mango smoothies, Asian chicken salads, yogurt parfaits, oatmeal, chicken wraps and a burger on a brioche. If it sounds familiar, it’s probably because McDonald’s has most of these items on its menu, already.
The King is also planning a major renovation of stores, something that McDonald’s is already doing in certain states.
