Who Doesn't Love A Good Chicken Story?
Just about everyone recognizes Colonel Sanders, the iconic Kentuckian famous for introducing the world to his secret recipe of 11 herbs & spices back in 1940.
But since then, it’s been our franchisees who’ve helped us grow into the world’s most popular chicken restaurant chain, with more than 24,000 KFC restaurants around the world.
Today, our franchisees have helped KFC become the global industry leader we are and make us who we are as a company. Together, our story keeps getting better!

Of course, you’re probably curious about KFC’s key performance statistics.

Secret Recipe. Not-So-Secret Results!
Sure, our menu of delicious fried chicken, home-style sides, and buttermilk biscuits keeps people coming back to KFC. But you’ll discover there is even more in store as a KFC franchisee, like:
• Top-of-the-industry incentives.
• A wide variety of asset designs for our Traditional units.
• Dynamic market planning tools, resources, and support.
• Comprehensive training through a 10-week onboarding process.
• Mentoring program for new franchisees.

Franchisees have access to KFC’s unique business development programs and resources to support your growth and professional development.
But what’s the biggest (and we mean BIG!) reason our franchise opportunities are so exciting? We’re part of Yum! Brands—the parent company of KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, and The Habit Burger Grill and leaders in the chicken, pizza, Mexican-style, and fast casual chargrilled burgers food categories. This means we’re able to leverage the expertise, innovation, and strength of the world’s largest restaurant company of its kind and share those winning strategies with you.
