Introduction
Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) Corporation, based in Louisville, Kentucky, is the world's most widespread chicken restaurant chain offering services to more than 12 million customers in 109 countries all around the world. KFC operates more than 5,200 restaurants in the United States and more than 15,000 units around the world. KFC was founded by Harland Sanders (Sanders) in the early1930s. He started cooking and serving food for hungry travelers who stopped by his service station in Corbin, Kentucky, US. He did not own a restaurant then, but served people on his own dining table in the living quarters of his service station. His business expanded and by 1964, Sanders franchised more than 600 chicken outlets in the US and Canada. Now customers around the globe enjoy more than 300 other products from Kentucky Grilled Chicken in the United States to a salmon sandwich in Japan .KFC has been a brand and operating segment, of Yum Brands since 1997 when that company was acquired from PepsiCo as Tricon Global Restaurants Inc.
KFC's original product is pressure fried chicken pieces, seasoned with Sanders' recipe of 11 herbs and spices. The constituents of the recipe represent a notable trade secret. Larger portions of fried chicken are served in a cardboard "bucket," which has become an icon of the chain since it was first introduced by franchisee Pete Harman in 1957. Since the early 1990s, KFC has expanded its menu to offer other chicken products such as chicken fillet burgers and wraps, as well as salads and side dishes such as French fries and coleslaw, desserts and soft drinks, the latter often supplied by PepsiCo. KFC is known for the slogan "finger licking' good," which has since been replaced by "Nobody does chicken like KFC" and "So good."
In September 2013, there were 296 KFC outlets in India.[95] As well as the standard KFC offerings, the chain sells a chickpea burger and hot wings with chilli lemon sprinkles.[96] A major franchise holder is QSR

    In 2010, KFC introduced its new item to the menu; The Double Down, it was the sandwich that had no room for a bun. This sandwich was introduced with an attempt to grow revenue in a very competitive business. According to Solomon, Marshall, and Stuart, the U.S. has the largest fast-food market in the world, with many competitors offering products that are the same or similar with rivalry prices that constrain profit margins (Solomon, Marshall, & Stuart, 2011) . KFC first started in North Corbin, Kentucky during the great depression and was at that time called Sanders Curt & Café which led to expansions in 1952 in South Salt Lake, Utah, and eventually to Canada by early 1960. Kentucky Fried Chicken was sold in over 600 franchised outlets changing ownership multiple times. Today, the brand is owned by Yum! Brands and is based in Louisville, Kentucky serving 12 million customers each day. The Double Down features two thick and juicy boneless white meat chicken filets with your choice of original recipe or grilled, two pieces of bacon, two melted slices of Monterey jack and pepper jack cheese and colonels sauce. Although it was initially offered on a limited-time basis, KFC decided to add the item permanently to the menu because of strong sales driven in part by people eating the sandwich on YouTube and popular television personality Stephen Colbert consuming one on the Colbert report television show. KFC reports that the launch is one of their most successful ever, but from a nutritional standpoint, the Double Down packs 540 calories, 32 grams of fat, and a whopping 1,380 milligrams of sodium in original recipe and 460 calories, 23 grams of fat and 1,430 milligrams of sodium in grilled; the level of sodium in the sandwich is definitely a drawback (Solomon, Marshall, & Stuart, 2011), but the fat gram in the sandwich is high as well because I would not be able to eat that with my heart condition. This would not be a purchase I would make at KFC. Concerns…

    When Corbin, Kentucky, restauranteur Harland Sanders began to establish a chicken franchise business in the mid-1950s, the pressure-cooking process he had developed twenty years earlier ensured his position at the forefront of the American fast food revolution. In 1964, Sanders sold the flourishing Kentucky Fried Chicken Corporation for $2 million. However, by retaining the "Kentucky Colonel" as a roving ambassador, and instituting his image as the corporate icon, the company was able to continue promoting its product as "finger lickin' good" chicken in the best tradition of Southern-fried home cooking. The "down home" identity was somewhat compromised by Pepsi Co's $840 million buyout in 1986. The company was rebranded "KFC"—the word "fried" deemed inappropriate in an era of consumer health-consciousness—and integrated with other PepsiCo-owned fast food chains, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut. Nevertheless, the Southern patrician visage of the Colonel continues to decorate thousands of KFC's worldwide.…
