First KFC finger-lickin' gone
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (AP) -- The world's first Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant was demolished Tuesday, leaving the familiar sign bearing Colonel Sanders' smiling face upside down atop a heap of rubble.
By early August, however, KFC will be reborn on the same spot as a restaurant and museum that will tell how buckets of crispy fried chicken came to be sold at nearly 12,000 restaurants around the globe, generating annual sales of around $10 billion.
"We're definitely proud of our heritage in Utah," said James Jackson, chief financial officer for California-based Harman's KFC Corp., based in Los Altos, California.
