![]() We were quite happy with the decision to try the KFC at Weyburn. ![]() No food left on the floor like some places. The chicken reminded me of my bachelor days when I’d sleep in on a winter Saturday and order a bucket of KFC for my weekend dining.Īnd we noticed the second a customer left a table, someone was there with a mop and cloth to clean up. We went back for more and were offered drumsticks - no extra cost like in Moose Jaw. This chicken wasn’t greasy and was cooked just right. We immediately realized our friends were right. My partner glared at the back pieces left but the smiling attendant asked what she wanted. The buffet looked interesting … tossed salad, jello, pickles, coleslaw, pasta salad, mashed or deep fried potatoes, biscuits and gravy and, of course, chicken. Six years ago when the head honchos at KFC wanted to close the buffet, the community protested and even rallied the premier behind it until KFC relented. The Weyburn store has the only all-day, all-you-can-eat KFC buffet in Canada. It was early afternoon when we arrived and ordered at the busy store. We were going to put his claim to the test. When I questioned him about it he said the Weyburn KFC is like the old recipe that made the colonel famous for that finger-lickin’ taste. ![]() That surprised us but it’s their business and their dollar. I didn’t know and was surprised at her suggestion: “Let’s go to Weyburn for Kentucky Fried Chicken.’’įriends of ours often do a Sunday drive to Weyburn for the colonel’s best served in a buffet. KFC ( Kentucky Fried Chicken) is an American fast food restaurant chain headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, that specializes in fried chicken.“Do you want to go for a drive today?” I asked my partner/wife It is the world's second-largest restaurant chain (as measured by sales) after McDonald's, with 22,621 locations globally in 150 countries as of December 2019. The chain is a subsidiary of Yum! Brands, a restaurant company that also owns the Pizza Hut and Taco Bell chains. KFC was founded by Colonel Harland Sanders (1890–1980), an entrepreneur who began selling fried chicken from his roadside restaurant in Corbin, Kentucky, during the Great Depression. Sanders identified the potential of the restaurant franchising concept and the first "Kentucky Fried Chicken" franchise opened in Utah in 1952. ![]() KFC popularized chicken 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 advertising to this day. However, the company's rapid expansion overwhelmed the aging Sanders and he sold it to a group of investors led by John Y. KFC was one of the first American fast-food chains to expand internationally, opening outlets in Canada, the United Kingdom, Mexico and Jamaica by the mid-1960s. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, it experienced mixed fortunes domestically, as it went through a series of changes in corporate ownership with little or no experience in the restaurant business. In the early 1970s, KFC was sold to the spirits distributor Heublein, which was taken over by the R. Reynolds food and tobacco conglomerate that company sold the chain to PepsiCo. The chain continued to expand overseas, however, and in 1987 it became the first Western restaurant chain to open in China. It has since expanded rapidly in China, which is now the company's single largest market.
