Description

KFC's story began in 1930, when Colonel Sanders created the secret recipe that would give rise to the world's most delicious fried chicken. In 1952, the first franchise opened in the United States, marking the beginning of a journey that transformed KFC into one of the largest global fast-food icons—with over 5,000 restaurants across 120 countries and 14 million customers served daily. In Brazil, KFC already operates more than 230 restaurants across various regions, winning over Brazilian palates and establishing itself as one of the favorite brands in the segment.
