eating fried food as a fashion
Posted on May 5th, 2009 No commentsThe title is only an attraction, what I want to tell you is also the history of the fast food company.
The truth is that Kentucky Fried Chicken decides to change its name is to avoid paying license fees to the state of Kentucky. The governor of Kentucky, Ruby Laffoon, in 1936 made Harland Sanders an Honorary Kentucky Colonel; this is how he became known as Colonel Sanders. The Original chicken recipe was born or created in the 1940’s. In 1952, the first KFC franchise was awarded with a handshake and a verbal agreement of a nickel to pay to Sanders for each chicken that was sold.
In 1964, there was over 600 KFC Franchises in the US and Canada even some in England. Colonel Sanders also sold his interest in the Us Company for 2 million to a group of investors. In 1990, the state of Kentucky decides to trademark their name, in order to reduce their accumulating debts. As a result, Kentucky Fried Chicken have to pay a sum of money to the state for using “Kentucky”.
Obviously, they are unwilling to since they had been using it for nearly four decades(they started in the 1950s) and refused to pay such royalties as a matter of principle. After much negotiations, they were unable to budge the government stance and thus decided to change their name instead of paying. This coincides with the rebranding campaign as stated earlier and everything turned out well.

The KFC story
Posted on May 5th, 2009 No commentsThere is a great history with KFC, and if you are looking for a KFC application you can go online and fill one out. The story about why Kentucky Fried Chicken, founded by Harland Sanders, changes it name to KFC is to remove the word “fried” in it’s name.
The word “fried” has negative connatations like being unhealthy, having high cholesterol, causing obesity and many more. Therefore, as an effort to rebrand themselves as a healthier family restaurant that caters for people of all ages, including health conscious people, Kentucky Fried Chicken renamed itself as KFC.
If you are looking for an opportunity with KFC there is a position for you. If you are looking for a job that you will earn minimum wage and have night and weekend hours, KFC would be a place to start. The US food and drug administration reviewed the operations of Kentucky Fried Chicken and found out the they are rearing genetically modified chickens, with extra huge breasts and extra legs to harvest the meat from(the number varies from 4 to 6).
The US food and drug administration declares that these creatures cannot be marketed as “chickens” and Kentucky Fried Chicken, unwilling to lose such a lucrative operation to adhere to the rules, decided to change its name to KFC instead to eliminate the word “chicken”.
