KFC History

KFC, known as Kentucky Fried Chicken, is an American fast-food restaurant specializing in fried chicken. Headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, it is the second largest restaurant worldwide (as measured by sales) after McDonald’s, with nearly 22,600+ locations worldwide in 150 countries and territories as of December 2019. The chain is a subsidiary of Yum! Brands is a restaurant company that owns Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, and WingStreet chains.

How it all began?
Harland Sanders was born in Henryville, Indiana. From an early age, he has been passionate about cooking. After doing many jobs during his youth to support his family, in 1940, he decided to serve his recipes to customers at the gas station he owned in Corbin, Kentucky. Building on his success, he opened a motel restaurant across the street, a flourishing business that allowed him to begin creating a network of franchises nationwide.

Construction of a new Interstate Highway at the location of his business a few years later forced him to close. Ruined, he then left to travel to the United States in search of a restaurant that would agree to buy his chickens from him.

The first KFC restaurant is at 3890 South State Street in South Salt Lake, Utah.
Harland Sanders formed his new company, which he named “Kentucky Fried Chicken” under the advice of Pete Harman, the owner of the very first franchise sold by the Colonel. In 1952, the first KFC restaurant opened near Salt Lake City, Utah.

The young company will therefore begin to grow to have 600 points of sale across the United States. He parted with it in 1964 for 2 million dollars to a group of investors led by the future governor of Kentucky, John Y. Brown, Jr. The latter, a University of Kentucky La graduate, hired Pete Harman and a financier from Nashville, John Jack Massey.

The two men, therefore, fought to obtain the rights to international franchises. The “Colonel” Sanders (honorary title awarded by the Governor of Kentucky) is therefore relegated mainly to the rank of advertising icon, responsible for shooting television spots and inaugurating new establishments.

Brown and Massey are working on expanding the brand across the United States, establishing restaurants in each of the 50 states. The most notable change will undoubtedly be the transition from a dine-in restaurant formula, where you are served at the table, to a formula more rooted in fast food: place the order and be served at the checkout. These transformations are a real success, both for consumers and franchisees.

In 1986, KFC was acquired by PepsiCo. In 1991, Kentucky Fried Chicken was abbreviated as “KFC.” Although no official explanation has ever been provided, there are three hypotheses concerning this change. The first would be that the chain did not want to be identified only with its chicken since it also offered other dishes and condiments it wanted to promote.

The second would accuse the pejorative connotation of the word fried (fried), often a sign of poor quality. Finally, the last would question that a shortened version of the channel’s name would sound younger. More recently, the company has begun reintroducing the name Kentucky Fried Chicken by quoting it in its advertisements ., and affixing it to some of its products.
