About KFC

Harland Sanders, known universally as “Colonel Sanders,” started selling chicken from a roadside motel in 1930 in Kentucky. He prepared the meat in a pressure cooker, which sealed in the flavor. The secret chicken recipe, including its famous 11 herbs and spices, was established in. 1939, and the colonel began wearing his trademark white suit in 1950. The first Kentucky Fried Chicken franchise opened in 1952 near Salt Lake City.

After selling the company in 1964, Mr. Sanders – his title of “colonel” was honorary – remained well know for his appearance in its commercials. Late in life, he was sometimes critical of changes made to the recipes by the company. But his likeness still dominates the logo.

When Mr. Sanders died in 1980, he lay in state at the Kentucky State Capitol in Frankfort. More than 1,000 people attended his funeral in freezing weather. Pat Boone sang, and the colonel was buried in his white suite.

The company said it would remain involved in Kentucky, including giving a $1 million endowment to the University of Louisville College of Business and building a flagship restaurant in that city.

Kentucky Fried Chicken shortened its name to KFC in 1991, in part to distance itself from the word “fried,” which had become associated with unhealthy eating. It currently has 30,000 restaurants worldwide.
