THE PENTAGON - Burger King announced today that it has won a multi-billion dollar contract to run Army dining facilities (DFACs), beating out strong competition from Kellogg, Brown, and Root (KBR) and Anthony's Pizza.
The contract, to provide food, supplies, personnel, and daily operations for all domestic and overseas DFACs, has a ceiling of $8.3 billion over 4 years.
"We are very excited to bring 'The King' aboard to provide fast, delicious, and nutrish-ish food to our warfighters," said Pentagon spokesperson Helen Kleiding.
Kleiding said the decision to award the contract to Burger King was based primarily on their competitive bid, but also on soldiers' current eating habits.
