Why the same sandwich has two prices
Franchisees set their own prices, and most customers never see the spread because they only ever visit one store. Jacksonville has 25 Burger King restaurants with a priced Whopper; the typical one charges $6.19. The cheapest and most expensive sit at opposite ends of a $2.50 range inside one city.

Across the four flagship items, 363 cities have a same-chain gap of $1.00 or more.
How this was computed. Prices are the current price state: each store's price as read from the chain's own ordering system, refreshed weekly. A store's price counts only inside a sanity band around the item's national typical (half to 1.75 times), which drops placeholder and mis-listed prices no customer could actually pay. One price point was excluded before ranking: a $3.99 Whopper reading that appears at 262 stores, 261 of them priced in a single day's collection (November 4, 2026) — the signature of a collection artifact, not a price anyone could pay. It is excluded above, and disclosed here. The Burger King at 4948 University Boulevard West and the one at 10300 Southside Blvd were checked on November 7, 2026 and November 4, 2026.
