Kentucky Fried Chicken now technically Texas fried Chicken

CEO David Gibbs said the Texas move was meant to help the company with “sustainable growth” and “culture.” “Ultimately, bringing more of our people together on a consistent basis will maximize our unrivaled culture

Has it moved its company headquarters or something?

Otherwise quite what that pretentious lump of management-ese is meant to mean is for Mr. Gibbs to explain, as is what he is trying to do, but that's going to cost the company a fortune. It would need change all its the signs, menus, packaging, business letter-heads, supplier account, banking, insurance and company-registration details, etc. in all its branches around the world.

I have no idea how many branches there in the UK alone, but though it must be far fewer than in its own nation they and their rival junk-food chains still seem to infest most town-centres and motorway services.

Then there is the question of confusion and persuading customers (of whom I am not one) to use the new name.

All for what?

Let's get something straight. Church's Chicken is a fried chicken chain in the US. It actually began close to the Alamo in San Antonio. That same fried chicken company is branded as "Texas Chicken" overseas.

@Crazywaterspring So is this a case of people confusing two companies or is KFC changing its name? It seems odd to use one close to that of a competitor, for its overseas outlets.

I haven't had that stuff in over 20 years. I've heard it isn't very good anymore.

Either way I never really liked the product. When I’d rather cook it myself, "fast food" has failed as an option. 🤔

@bijouxbroussard It's not as good as it used to be, or I have changed. It's really expensive and it just doesn't seem to have the flavour it used to. The pieces are also smaller. Not good value.

@JimboSaturn Honestly, I didn’t like it when it first became popular here. The folks would get it, I’d give my brother my chicken, he’d give me his potatoes & corn. There was a brief time when KFC offered grilled chicken and that I would eat. I don’t think they offer that option anymore, which is a shame.

Capitalism at its best. No emotion, no human empathy, just pure financial considerations (greed).
