COBLESKILL - If you live in Schoharie County and you are hankering for a Whopper you will have to wait a bit as the Burger King in Cobleskill is being renovated.

Burger King representatives confirmed Tuesday plans for a new Burger King Sizzle* restaurant in Cobleskill at 831 East Main Street. This is a part of the Reclaim the Flame plan.

According to Burger King officials, construction is scheduled to be completed in late October, but timing remains subject to change as construction progresses.

In 2023, we unveiled our new 'Sizzle' restaurant image - a bold, modern design that meets the evolving needs of today’s consumer," a representative said Tuesday. "It features interior and exterior upgrades like digital ordering kiosks, an updated drive-thru, and stand out design elements like the King Booth and Home of the Whopper wall. This is all part of our larger Reclaim the Flame plan and goal to have most Burger King restaurants across the U.S. with a modern image by 2028."

The fast food restaurant was first opened at that location as a Carrols in the early 1970s. Carrols Restaurant Group began converting the names of their restaurants to Burger King beginning in 1975.
