Now they’ll be expanding massively with the extremely unhealthy chickens and making it even easier to kick change down the road for increasing profits.

More jobs are obviously good, assuming they’re not immediately filled by “skilled” overseas workers, but it’s a shame that our fastest growing sector seems to be peddling carcinogenic slop.

Not sure I’ve ever thought there to be a shortage of KFC’s

KFC is over-priced shit.
Soggy fries. Tiny portions and the chicken is mid at best.
Support your local CFC, DFC, EFC, etc

I’m surprised KFC is still so popular given the prices they charge these days.

The amount they charge for chicken, not surprised they’re having a growth.

7,000 predominantly minimum wage low skill jobs, profits getting offshored to the USA (in a “tax efficient” way), worsening the obesity public health crisis through greater availability of poor quality food.
I wouldn’t be surprised if KFC and all the other similar companies are a net drain on the UK economy.

Gonna go against the grain of the comments here and say KFC is still delicious and compared to eating out you can’t get a better chicken burger for the price

I don’t know what happened to KFC but in my nearly 32 years of living, it used to taste so good in the 2000s and early 2010s! Now the chicken has no flavour and only tastes like oil

Surprised to be honest. KFC has been shit for ages and I haven’t met a single person who didn’t agree. Absolute dog shite food.

> It said it will plough nearly £500m into 500 new sites as well as upgrading existing shops. It currently has more than 1,000 restaurants across the UK and Ireland, the majority of which are operated by franchisees.
> The fast-food chain said the 7,000 new jobs it expects to create in the UK and Ireland will include servers, kitchen-based roles and managers.
A sad day for chickens. Many chickens died to bring all this joy of fingers lickin good.

will those jobs be secure and allow people to create lives from them or will they be low paid, part time etc ?

Overpriced shit. Who is buying still buying this? Save your money and cook at home.

KFC is shocking if you have a halfway decent local business nearby to compare with.

If you have a Popeyes or a Jollibee near you, there is literally zero reason to buy this absurdly priced slop. KFC have been putting their prices up every 6 months since covid for well over inflation, all while taking things out of their deals, and dropping the quality of the chicken. I only discovered Jollibee recently and it’s genuinely 10x better for the same price, to the point that it makes me wonder how KFC manage to be so unbelievably shit and still in business.

Every time iv gone into a KFC recently, iv walked out. Its just how dirty their stores are, like they haven’t been cleaned all week never mind that day.
I just go to the local chicken shops in town now, and a few other chains when the mood hits me, but never KFC. There’s nothing there worth going for.

Pleae Britain, let us agree that being jobless and on benefits beats working for companies like KFC and McDonalds. Say what you will about benefits claimants, at least they aren’t selling us highly addictive poison that drives up our medical bills. yes, I am aware I am not in America. Those medical bills refer to the cost incurred to the NHS to take care of us, that we ultimately have to pay through our taxes.

How is this good news? We don’t want more shit food we should be pushing more healthy eating and creating high-quality jobs, not meaningless jobs that only serve to make rich people more money while increasing strain on NHS from deep fried shit.

Yay how incredibly valuable. I remember when Thatchers government got all gushy over KFC creating a similar number of jobs in an expansion back in the 80’s. My how they loved that all the poor sods who where losing all their factory jobs could go and get a service job like that.
Worked out so well.

So they’ve [dropped their plans for increasing animal welfare ](https://www.theguardian.com/food/2024/nov/23/kfc-drops-pledge-to-stop-using-frankenchickens-in-the-uk) because they said there wasn’t enough supply of slower growing chickens and presumably weren’t bothered enough to invest in creating some.
Now they’ll be expanding massively with the extremely unhealthy chickens and making it even easier to kick change down the road for increasing profits.
