飢餓積(Hungry Jack's)係漢堡王喺澳洲嘅連鎖餐廳品牌,由澳洲商人Jack Cowin名下嘅Competitive Foods Australia全資擁有。飢餓積擁有漢堡王/飢餓積餐廳品牌喺澳洲嘅特許經營權,亦會再授權畀其他澳洲本地嘅營運者,對佢哋亦有品質控制嘅工作。而家飢餓積有超過400個據點。
漢堡王去到澳洲變成飢餓積嘅原因,係因為當Jack Cowin引進漢堡王登陸澳洲嘅時候,發現漢堡王(Burger King)嘅商標已經被阿德萊德一間外賣店註冊咗[1][2]。而飢餓積喺澳洲嘅第一間餐廳,就喺1971年4月18號喺珀斯設立[3],之後佢哋喺10年內,喺三個州開設咗26間分店。喺1981年10月,佢哋喺雪梨商貿區利物浦街(Liverpool Street)同佐治街(George Street)開設佢哋喺新南威爾斯州嘅第一間分店。喺1986年,佢哋收購咗11間Wendy's嘅分店,冇幾耐亦改名做飢餓積[4]。
Burger King Corp's new management said on Friday it was ceding the Australian market to the Hungry Jack's brand, dissolving a convoluted relationship that at one time went to court in a franchising dispute.
Mr Cowin bought the Australian franchise for Burger King from the chain's then-owner, Pillsbury Co. But because the Burger King name was already registered in the country, Cowin used a Pillsbury pancake-mix brand, Hungry Jack, for his stores."; "Hungry Jack's was BK's original franchisee in Australia, but the company could not use the Burger King name at the time because it was already trademarked.
