Many Chinese children have fond childhood memories of enjoying crispy and juicy fried chicken at KFC. When did KFC come to China?

KFC, a fast-food chain, was founded in 1952 in the state of Kentucky, USA, selling crispy and juicy fried chicken. KFC thrived in the US, and to tap into larger markets, its management team decided to expand overseas. But which country to choose? With a large population, many cities, and a vast market, KFC decided to open branches in China.

Initially, KFC studied the food preferences of Chinese people and then chose to open its first store in Beijing. Besides serving fried chicken, hamburgers, and cola, the menu at this KFC also included Chinese dishes like porridge and spicy chicken. Later on, KFC in China invented the Beijing Duck Roll, which combined Beijing roasted duck with Mexican corn tortillas. This dish became very popular among Chinese people and became a signature item at KFC in China.

Now, at KFC in China, you can enjoy authentic dishes like noodles from Wuhan and spicy chicken from Guizhou. This is because KFC uses many local ingredients from China, which not only reduces costs but also keeps the ingredients fresh. Most importantly, these are the foods that Chinese people are accustomed to eating. This business approach has been very successful, and they quickly opened many branches in China.

KFC has also faced some food safety and environmental issues, but the company has worked hard to address these problems. The management team at KFC trusts the Chinese employees and gives them a lot of authority to decide how to handle situations. This cooperative approach with local operations has allowed KFC in China to thrive and become one of the few foreign companies that have succeeded well in China.

Many Chinese children have fond childhood memories of enjoying crispy and juicy fried chicken at KFC. When did KFC come to China?

KFC, a fast-food chain, was founded in 1952 in the state of Kentucky, USA, selling crispy and juicy fried chicken. KFC thrived in the US, and to tap into larger markets, its management team decided to expand overseas. But which country to choose? With a large population, many cities, and a vast market, KFC decided to open branches in China.

Initially, KFC studied the food preferences of Chinese people and then chose to open its first store in Beijing. Besides serving fried chicken, hamburgers, and cola, the menu at this KFC also included Chinese dishes like porridge and spicy chicken. Later on, KFC in China invented the Beijing Duck Roll, which combined Beijing roasted duck with Mexican corn tortillas. This dish became very popular among Chinese people and became a signature item at KFC in China.

Now, at KFC in China, you can enjoy authentic dishes like noodles from Wuhan and spicy chicken from Guizhou. This is because KFC uses many local ingredients from China, which not only reduces costs but also keeps the ingredients fresh. Most importantly, these are the foods that Chinese people are accustomed to eating. This business approach has been very successful, and they quickly opened many branches in China.

KFC has also faced some food safety and environmental issues, but the company has worked hard to address these problems. The management team at KFC trusts the Chinese employees and gives them a lot of authority to decide how to handle situations. This cooperative approach with local operations has allowed KFC in China to thrive and become one of the few foreign companies that have succeeded well in China.
