Burger King to open restaurant in French town after girl says she would treat all her followers to a meal
By Matthew Lyle • January 12, 2015
In October, a French youth who goes by the Twitter handle of @vanoukia cheekily challenged the American fast-food giant Burger King to launch a restaurant in her city by tweeting: “When there’s a Burger King in Lille I’ll treat you all to a meal.”
But the young tweeter may have spoken to soon. Earlier this week, Burger King France responded to her tweet announcing its opening in Lille with a photo of vanoukia’s tweet plastered on a giant red tarpaulin along with the message: “Dear @vanoukia, luckily no one has printed your tweet on tarpaulin.”
