KFC Franchise Disclosure Document

KFC is a global quick-service restaurant chain specializing in fried chicken, founded in 1952 by Colonel Harland Sanders. It operates more than 25,000 units worldwide and is one of the most recognized food brands globally. Franchisees operate freestanding or inline restaurants with drive-thru capabilities. The investment is significant due to real estate, kitchen equipment, and staffing. Revenue is generated from dine-in, takeout, and delivery sales. Franchisees benefit from national marketing, global supply chains, and strong brand loyalty. Operational consistency and throughput are key to profitability.

With nearly 40,000 FDDs collected over the past 25+ years, our growing database is maintained and enriched by a dedicated information management team that ensures accuracy, completeness, and timely updates. Just as important, FRANdata understands that while FDDs offer a wealth of standardized information, they may not address every question a stakeholder has—particularly when it comes to franchise performance, operational nuances, or long-term growth potential. That's why we complement the information in FDDs with broader research and advisory capabilities, helping clients interpret what's there, understand the context, and access deeper insights when needed.
