Carrols Restaurant Group is the largest Burger King franchisee in the world; Carrols owns and operates over 500 Burger King locations across 20 U.S. states.
The company formerly owned the restaurant chains Carrolls, Pollo Tropical, and Taco Cabana. The original Carrols chain ceased operations in the United States locations in the mid-1970s. The last unaffiliated Carrols Restaurants existed in Finland. The chain was eventually bought out by another Finnish fast-food chain, Hesburger. In 2012, Hesburger announced that the brand Carrols would be discontinued, and the last location in Oulunkylä was renamed Hesburger on May 29.
