Southeastern Kentucky Fried Chicken Franchisee Association

To form meaningful connections amongst KFC franchisees of the Southeast Region and our valued business partners.  Our goal is to educate, develop, and unite our members to the benefit of the franchisees and the KFC Brand.

Kentucky Fried Chicken Franchisees have always been a family. We are related not only because our business has the same founder, Colonel Harland Sanders, but also because we learned to depend upon each other from the very beginning. In the early days it was very common for fellow Franchisees to help one another with new restaurant openings.

After the Colonel sold Kentucky Fried Chicken in 1964, the common bonds uniting Franchisees became stronger.  We discovered many years ago that cooperation and communication among Franchisees were essential to continue the dream of Colonel Harland Sanders. 

The Southeastern Kentucky Fried Chicken Franchisee Association was founded in 1965.  Its first formal meeting was in May of 1966 with 23 members in attendance.  From this historic beginning, the Southeastern  Association has grown to include over 60 Franchisee Members and over 70 Institutional Members. Southeastern Franchisees operate over 1200 Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants in the 10 states of Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia.  The Southeastern Association remains a premiere forum for the communication of business concerns in the Kentucky Fried Chicken system, and a foundation of Franchisee strength, unity, and success.
