| KFC Owners Are As Original As Our Original Recipe® |
Based in Louisville, KY,
KFC Corporation is the world’s most popular chicken franchise
specializing in Original Recipe®, Kentucky Grilled
Chicken™ and The Colonel’s Crispy Strips with
home-style sides, Honey BBQ Wings and freshly made chicken
sandwiches. KFC has been serving customers complete, freshly
prepared, family meals since Colonel Harland Sanders founded the
concept in 1952.
| The
Opportunity We’re seeking KFC franchise candidates with a future vision to be an operator of at least five to 10 restaurants. KFC is looking for candidates that will commit to building three units over their first three to five years in the system. In the early days of quick service restaurant (QSR) development, franchisees generally opened a single restaurant and operated that restaurant solely until the end of their franchise career. In today's environment, this has changed. Most larger QSR franchisors are seeking franchisees with the aptitude and capability for multi-unit restaurant ownership and development. | ![]() |
Building or buying multiple
restaurants enables you to achieve scale in your operations and
this could result in a number of advantages. First, you leverage
your expertise. Opening the initial restaurant of any concept
requires a learning curve, including proper understanding of
perfect product production, management processes and system
communication procedures. Opening additional restaurants utilizes
this same knowledge, which could make future openings less
complicated. Many of the steps remain the same and a franchisee's
previous opening experience serves as valuable know-how when the
process is repeated.
Training and
Support
| KFC believes that quality
training and support are the foundation to building your franchise
business. We have assembled a comprehensive onboarding program to
support you in each of these areas. KFC Brand training and a
variety of KFC franchise information are part of that program.
Working with a National Training Leader and several Territory
Training Leaders, you will complete an eight- to 10-week Brand
training program, which covers centralized orientation training in
Louisville, KY, online training using the KFC Learning Zone and
in-store skill practice which we seek to organize at existing
restaurants near your home base. KFC also believes that ongoing support is necessary for your restaurant and does so with a team of people to provide coaching, recognition and continuous backing for the franchisee. This team also coordinates product and procedure rollouts during the course of the year. | ![]() |
