Have Helsinki resident’s missed Burger King so much, they have to queue up for hamburgers?
First Burger King was opened opposite the Stockmann department store on the 13th of Dec, 2013. What happened (click the link)?

Actually I like a lot of well-made burgers and crispy french fries, examples from Hard Rock Cafe Helsinki and Pirate Helsinki.
But gosh! No more about this matter……
I have nothing (much) against Burger King, but to put it in this beautiful space is criminal. I was horrified when I walked past it in late January. I am also sorry that Starbucks have their awful coffee in that great position, and even more sorry to see it busy. I will never go there.
Starbucks got that location because Stockmann is struggling due to growing web sales.
But it really is difficult to understand why Burger King got that place at railway station. Hall is protected by National Heritage Board.
still helsinki is quite good (or was?) in keeping big american retailers out?
Has it been like that, did not know? Anyway, Starbucks opened in one of the best locations 1/2 year ago and we have Pizza Hut, McDonalds, Hard Rock Cafe etc.. Thanks for reading the post!
Oh I was there some years ago, when they still didnt have all these things.. it’s too bad you can’t get reasonable food, at a reasonable price anymore!
Burger King sucks. That is all.
Exactly! Tried to be polite and not use word s**t instead of gosh.
