KFC - South City Mall - Kolkata

KFC (also known as Kentucky Fried Chicken) is an American fast-food restaurant chain headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky that specializes in fried chicken. It is the world's second-largest restaurant chain (as measured by sales) after McDonald's as of 2019.

Colonel Harland Sanders, a businessman who started selling fried chicken from his roadside eatery in Corbin, Kentucky during the Great Depression, launched KFC. The first "Kentucky Fried Chicken" franchise started in Utah in 1952, when Sanders saw the potential of the restaurant franchising model. KFC popularized chicken in the fast-food sector, broadening the market by posing a challenge to the hamburger's long-held supremacy. Harland became a well-known character in American culture after adopting the moniker "Colonel Sanders," and his image is still regularly utilized in KFC advertising to this day.

The company's fast development, however, became too much for the elderly Sanders, who sold it in 1964 to a group of investors led by John Y. Brown Jr. and Jack C. Massey.
