It is the world's second-largest restaurant chain after McDonald's, with over 25,000 locations in more than 145 countries and territories as of December 2019. The company is a subsidiary of Yum!

About Us
KFC, founded by Colonel Harland Sanders during the Great Depression, originated from his roadside motel in Corbin, Kentucky, where he sold fried chicken. Recognizing the potential of franchising, Sanders launched the first "Kentucky Fried Chicken" franchise in Utah in 1952. This move significantly impacted the fast-food industry, challenging the hamburger's dominance and popularizing chicken as a fast-food option. Branded as "Colonel Sanders," Harland became an iconic figure in American culture. However, the company's rapid growth became overwhelming, leading Sanders, at 73, to sell KFC in 1964 to investors led by John Y. Brown Jr. and Jack C. Massey. PepsiCo acquired KFC in 1986, later spinning it off as Tricon Global Restaurants, which subsequently rebranded as Yum! Brands. This evolution marks KFC's journey from a single motel operation to a global fast-food powerhouse.
