With over 15,000 restaurants located in more than 100 countries around the world, Kentucky Fried Chicken is one of the most recognised names in the food business in the world. Better known as KFC, the concept of serving delicious, wholesome chicken was introduced 60 years ago.
It was at that time the founder of the most popular fast food restaurant, Colonel Harland D. Sanders, perfected his secret recipe for the famous Kentucky Fried Chicken and introduced it to the world. Success was immediate as people flocked to his fast growing chain of restaurants to get more of the delicious chicken.
Over the years many attempts have been made to uncover the exact blend but all have invariably failed because they do not share the Colonel's passion for the art of cooking. Today the recipe remains distinguished by its unparalleled taste and dazzling global corporate success, particularly in Pakistan through Gray Mackenzie Restaurants International, Cupola Pakistan, one of the largest retail operators in Pakistan.
Kentucky Fried Chicken came to Pakistan on January 20th, 1997 when it opened its doors to the Pakistani public at its first restaurant in Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Karachi. Since, KFC Pakistan has expanded its operations to all the four corners of the country, having opened branches in 11 cities of the country.
In the past 9 years, more than 3 million meals to satisfied customers in Pakistan. They can be found in the 40 restaurants in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan, Peshawar Hyderabad, Sialkot, Jhelum and Gujranwala.
Following the success, more branches are being planned to cater to the ever growing demand for healthy nutritious food. But it's not only about food. KFC Pakistan is one of the leading contributors to the local and regional economies in the country. The franchise currently employs well over 1500 Pakistanis. The restaurant franchise has created a supply base in the region of Rs 35 million plus, on a monthly basis.
Recently the restaurant set new standards in social responsibility. The latest Gulshan-e-Iqbal branch is the first restaurant in Pakistan that is manned and operated by a staff of the hearing and speech impaired. Picked and trained in KFC's high quality standards, the staff at this restaurant is testament to the commitment that the restaurant has towards the society it serves. Following its rollicking success, one more similar restaurant has been inaugurated, this one in Lahore while others are on the way.
For years it has been a tradition that come the holy month of Ramadan and all roads lead to KFC branches.
With its special deals, breaking fast at a KFC restaurant has become a family tradition in Pakistan. This year as well, KFC has three spectacular deals on offer. One is the Rs 350/- all you can eat deal, whereas the Rs 550/- bucket deal is truly one to relish. Then of course, if you can also have Sehri at the restaurant, with its unbelievable buy one Zinger and get one Zinger free deal.
