 Burger King entered the Brazilian market in 2004 , eventually operating and franchising 108 locations in the country by 2011 . In June of that year , Burger King entered into a new master franchise agreement with Brazilian venture capital firm Vinci Partners . The agreement calls for a tenfold increase in locations in the country by 2016 . Burger King and Vinci are expected to invest about $ 570 million ( US $ ) to expand operations in the country during the five @-@ year period . The expansion deal is an attempt to catch up to American chains that have already established a presence in Brazil as well as the rest of Latin America .
