The Colonel’s Legacy: From Gas Station Grub to Global Phenomenon

When we think of fried chicken, there’s no doubt that KFC will cross our minds After all, it’s been around for over 70 years! It wasn’t always the success it is today. To see where it all began, we have to go all the way back to the 1930s. Harland Sanders, affectionately known as Colonel Sanders, first began serving his famous fried chicken at a roadside gas station in Corbin, Kentucky during the Great Depression. His secret blend of 11 herbs and spices was a massive hit and it didn’t take long for it to become very popular. By 1952, the first KFC franchise was established in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Colonel Sanders, whose dedication to quality laid the foundation for the company, became KFC’s official icon. His white suit complete with a black string tie has basically been synonymous with the brand. KFC expanded rapidly; becoming one of the first fast-food chains to ever go global. Today, KFC has locations in over 135 different countries, serving millions and millions of customers with its signature fried chicken.

Viral Moments: KFC’s Marketing Magic

KFC is no stranger to viral marketing campaigns. In recent years, the brand has captured public attention with initiatives like the limited-edition fried chicken-scented firelogs and the launch of a Colonel Sanders dating simulator video game. These playful and unexpected campaigns have helped KFC stay relevant and engage with a younger audience.
