Have you ever thought that it’s too late to begin something? Well, if Colonel Sanders thought so, we wouldn’t have the world’s most famous fried chicken-KFC!
A forty-year-old Colonel Sanders began selling fried chicken for hungry travellers after the Second World War. He had a store near a gas station and soon travellers started to fill their tummies along with their petrol tanks, making his chicken famous. He later franchised his business across America, but his recipe remained a secret. He also patented a method of preparation that involved frying chicken under pressure.
By 1964, his franchise became too large for him to manage and he sold KFC to a group of investors led by John Y. Brown, Jr. and Jack C. Massey. After a series of ownership changes, KFC is currently owned by Yum Brands. It is the world’s second-largest restaurant chain after McDonald’s and Colonel Sanders still remains the iconic face of KFC.
