Principle of Management
The Kentucky Fried Chicken® was founded by Colonel Harland Sanders (born on September 9, 1890) at the age of sixty-five. KFC® is currently one of the largest businesses of the global food service industry and is widely known around the world as the face of Colonel Sanders.
Every year, over a billion KFC® chicken dinners are served featuring the Colonel’s “finger lickin’ good” special recipe. The Colonel has spread his industry currently to more than eighty countries and territories globally.
At the age of forty, Colonel Sanders began cooking for travelers in his service station located in Corbin, KY. However, rather than coming in for service for their cars, hundreds of people began coming to the Colonel’s station specifically for his food. So he expanded his new up-and-coming business by moving across the street to a hotel and restaurant that seated one hundred and forty-two people. While cooking here, Colonel Sanders perfected his secret blend of eleven herbs and spices for his special recipe that is still used today.
With his special cooking techniques, Sanders’ station became famous and he was recognized for his amazing cuisine by the Governor at the time, Ruby Laffoon in 1935 when he was made a Kentucky Colonel; hence the name Colonel Sanders. In 1939, Colonel Sanders’ restaurant won the top spot on Duncan Hines’ “Adventures in Good Eating.”
After his amazing start-up in 1952, the Colonel devoted himself for the rest of his life to his chicken franchising business. To spread his famous recipe, he spanned the country in his car from his small business in Kentucky to cook his chicken for restaurant owners and their employees. If his subjects loved it like his other customers had, the Colonel made a deal with the establishment, saying that they would pay him a nickel for each chicken they sold in their restaurant. So many restaurants agreed that by 1964, the Colonel had over six hundred franchised outlets in the United States and Canada for his
