KFC,founded and also known as Kentucky Fried Chicken,is a chain of fast food restaurants based in Louisville,Kentucky,in the United States.KFC has been a brand and operating segment,termed a concept of Yum!Brands since 1997 when that company was spun off from PepsiCo as Tricon Global Restaurants Inc.
KFC primarily sells chicken pieces,wraps,salads and sandwiches.While its primary focus is fried chicken,KFC also offers a line of grilled and roasted chicken products,side dishes and desserts.Outside the USA,KFC offers beef based products such as hamburgers or kebabs,poutine,pork based products such as ribs and other regional fare.
The company was founded as Kentucky Fried Chicken by Colonel Harland Sanders in 1952,though the idea of KFC's fried chicken actually goes back to 1930.Although Sanders died in 1980,he remains an important part of the company's branding and advertisements,and "Colonel Sanders" or "The Colonel" is a metonym for the company itself.The company adopted KFC,an abbreviated form of its name,in 1991.Newer and remodeled restaurants will adopt the new logo and name,while older stores will continue to use the 1980s signage.Additionally,Yum!continues to use the abbreviated name freely in its advertising.
Born and raised in Henryville,Indiana,Sanders passed through several professions in his lifetime.Sanders first served his fried chicken in 1930 in the midst of the Great Depression at a gas station he owned in North Corbin,Kentucky.The dining area was named Sanders Court & Café and was so successful that in 1935 Kentucky Governor Ruby Laffoon granted Sanders the title of honorary Kentucky Colonel in recognition of his contribution to the state's cuisine.The following year Sanders expanded his restaurant to 142 seats,and added a motel he bought across the street.When Sanders prepared his chicken in his original restaurant in North Corbin,he prepared the chicken in an iron skillet,which took about 30 minutes to do,too long for a restaurant operation.In 1939,Sanders altered the cooking process for his fried chicken to use a pressure fryer,resulting in a greatly reduced cooking time comparable to that of deep frying.In 1940 Sanders devised what came to be known as his Original Recipe.
The Sanders Court & Café generally served travelers,often those headed to Florida,so when the route planned in the 1950s for what would become Interstate 75 bypassed Corbin,he sold his properties and traveled the U.S.to sell his chicken to restaurant owners.The first to take him up on the offer was Pete Harman in South Salt Lake,Utah; together,they opened the first "Kentucky Fried Chicken" outlet in 1952.By the early 1960s,Kentucky Fried Chicken was sold in over 600 franchised outlets in both the United States and Canada.One of the longest-lived franchisees of the older Col.Sanders' chicken concept,as opposed to the KFC chain,was the Kenny Kings chain.The company owned many Northern Ohio diner-style restaurants,the last of which closed in 2004.
Sanders sold the entire KFC franchising operation in 1964 for $2 million USD,equal to $14,161,464 today.Since that time,the chain has been sold three more times:to Heublein in 1971,to R.J.Reynolds in 1982 and most recently to PepsiCo in 1986,which made it part of its Tricon Global Restaurants division,which in turn was spun off in 1997,and has now been renamed to Yum!Brands.
In 2001,KFC started test in Austin,Texas restaurants of "Wing Works" chicken wing line sold with one of a few flavored sauces.Also,KFC hired a consultant to develop a breakfast menu.
Additionally,Colonel Sanders' nephew,Lee Cummings,took his own Kentucky Fried Chicken franchises (and a chicken recipe of his own) and converted them to his own "spin-off" restaurant chain,Lee's Famous Recipe Chicken.肯德基炸雞店(英文名:Kentucky Fried Chicken,KFC),來自美國的連鎖快餐廳,世上第一家肯德基由哈蘭德·桑德斯上校於1939年在肯塔基州路易斯维尔創建。主要出售炸雞等食品,隸屬於百勝餐飲集團。 肯德基的經營理念是不斷推出新的產品,或將以往銷售產品重新包裝,針對人們嘗鮮的心態,從而獲得利潤。 肯德基與百事可樂結成了戰略聯盟,餐廳固定銷售百事可樂公司提供的碳酸飲料(但在部份國家例外,如日本、韓國肯德基就銷售可口可樂)。截至2003年底,肯德基在世界各地開了12878家連鎖店。
