Dunkin Brands Group Inc (DNKN), Buffalo Wild Wings (BWLD), Burger King Worldwide Inc (BKW): Looking Forward

Another peer, Burger King Worldwide Inc (NYSE:BKW), has been seeing tough times. In its latest second-quarter results, total revenue fell by a whopping 48.5% year-over-year to land at $278.3 million. This drop was a result of negative currency translations, an adverse impact of refranchising, and lower comparable sales.

During the reported quarter, Burger King Worldwide Inc (NYSE:BKW) refranchised 305 units. It plans to finish its refranchising initiative in 2013. In addition, it has plans to reimage at least 40% of its U.S. and Canadian restaurants by 2015.

So far, the 600-odd reimaged restaurants completed in 2012 have delivered an average sales boost of 10% to 15%, thus providing an attractive return to franchisees. Second-quarter results showed sequential improvement across most regions and parameters, and this is a positive sign going forward.

Conclusion
With a mix of franchisees and company-owned stores, Buffalo Wild Wings (NASDAQ:BWLD) seems to be in a good position to grow its business. It is expanding internationally in high-growth regions, and investors should continue to hold this stock in their portfolios.
