The initials KFC simply stands for (Kentucky Fried Chicken) and it’s a fast food restaurant chain that is mostly known for selling fried chicken. It is the world's second largest restaurant after McDonald’s and has its headquarters in Louisville, Kentucky in the United States.
KFC was founded by an entrepreneur Harland sanders who began selling fried chicken from his roadside restaurant in Corbin, Kentucky.  Sanders identified the potential of the restaurant franchise concept, and opened the first "Kentucky Fried Chicken" franchise in the Utah state in 1952. KFC mostly specialized in chicken making it stand out in the fast food industry, diversifying the market by challenging the established dominance of the hamburger. By branding himself as "Colonel Sanders," Harland became a prominent figure of American cultural history, and his image remains widely used in KFC’s logo and advertising. However, the company's rapid expansion saw it overwhelm the ageing Sanders, and in 1964 he sold the company to a group of investors led by John Y. Brown and Jack C Massey.
