Reviews
"Jim McLamore's The Burger King is a must-read for aspiring entrepreneurs, for those who have worked in the business, and for those looking for inspiration from one of America's great innovators. I have reread The Burger King several times over the years and like to channel some 'McLamore' every time I speak to a large group of our amazing Burger King franchise owners. I am always inspired by this awesome tale of how Jim McLamore and his partner (Burger King co-founder Dave Edgerton) stumbled upon the idea to create America's favorite burger - the now world-famous and iconic Whopper! A great read for business owners and those who want to be one." - Jose Cil, CEO, Restaurants Brands International (parent company of Burger King, Popeyes & Tim Hortons), "Sharing the story of an American dream that turned into a global, iconic brand, this book demonstrates the power of grit, and generosity to others, in creating long-term success." - Amanda Israel, Executive Director - Burger King McLamore Foundation, "Through the lens of Burger King brand co-founder, Jim McLamore this story shares a fresh perspective on what it takes to build an iconic brand and the importance of caring for people and communities as a key part of business success." - Jim Myers, President, Burger King McLamore Foundation

- e***r (83)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI purchased three items from Goodwill Industries South Florida and with all of them, the Quality, Condition, Value, Appearance of this item are all excellent. They far exceeded the product description! Shipping speed was a little earlier than expected delivery time. I think I have done business with Goodwill in the past on Ebay, and that's why I went straight for their listing. I continue to be impressed and thankful for each transaction with them. We will get much enjoyment out of these items.
