Harland Sanders.

the founder of KFC brand. Invented the famous "KFC fried chicken" and started the "KFC fast food chain" business. KFC is the world's largest fried chicken fast food chain, with more than 15,111 restaurants all over the world. The logo of KFC designed with the image of Sandoz has become one of the best and most recognizable brands in the world.

In p>1952, the first authorized KFC restaurant in Salt Lake City was established, which was the beginning of the franchise of catering in the world. Then, to the surprise of more people, Sandoz's business snowballed. In just five years, he has developed 411 chain stores in the United States and Canada.

colonel Sanders' KFC co., ltd was formally established in p>1955. At the same time, he accepted the invitation of a talk show on a Colorado TV station. Being busy with work all day, he had to find the only neat suit-white palm suit, put on his black-rimmed glasses for many years and appear in front of the public.

The image of a veteran Southern Colonel cooking fried chicken soon attracted many reporters and TV hosts. Sanders, who was nearly 71 years old, was surrounded by people clamoring for cooperation with him, and representatives of restaurants who wanted to buy a franchise were still flocking. To this end, he set up a school to let these restaurant owners come to KFC to learn how to run a franchise fried chicken shop.

In p>1964, an investment group composed of john brown, a 29-year-old young lawyer, and Jack Mercer, a 61-year-old capitalist, was deeply moved by Sandoz's career. They wanted to buy the business with 2 million dollars. At that time, it was a lot of money. Although they were extremely reluctant, considering that they were 74 years old, Sandoz agreed to hand over the next career to the next generation.

In p>1971, with the consent of the colonel, Brown and Mercer sold this promising business to Huberline Company. At this time, KFC's annual turnover has exceeded 211 million US dollars. Although the business of KFC has changed hands and changed continuously since then, the way of franchising has not changed. Of course, its image will always be that colonel Sanders with white suit, white hair and black-rimmed glasses, who will always smile.
