See Also, Hungry Jack's[1].
They're an Australian fast-food chain, named so because Burger King was already a trademark owned by some small Australian store, and couldn't be used by the company that the rest of the world knows as Burger King.

Growing up in Indiana we had Waffle House which was different than the more famous chain. The chain called themselves Waffle and Steak in Indiana. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waffle_House#Waffle_and_Steak
Also Taco Bell, which was absent here in Australia for many years, due to a long-running legal battle[1] with local chain Taco Bill. The first Taco Bell only opened in inner Sydney about 3 years ago (after decades of failed attempts).

U-Haul Australia is not associated with the American company at all. They just were able to register the trademark first, even using the original’s brand assets.
