KFC's facility of choice is a Drive-Thru restaurant which requires a minimum of 0.50 acres. Although in some circumstances we will consider other facility types, this will depend on the size and location of the building - please contact the regional AQM for more information.

Our ideal requirement is 25 spaces but can be flexible on accepting shared (cross rights) areas of parking. We do require dedicated delivery bay, disabled spaces and a minimum of two waiting bays.

We have a simple allocation process to quickly determine if a potential site will be operated by KFC (GB) Ltd or a Franchise partner.

For a solus site we require a minimum of 0.50 acres, although this can be reduced when part of a development and sharing car parking.

No, it's not our policy to offer these. Our Franchise partners are well proven and established organisations and don't need our financial support. Their covenant is accepted by many major institutional landlords throughout the UK and Ireland.

KFC is extremely flexible in this regard. We can build the shell and acquire planning/change of use for you and still rent it from you if you prefer (subject to an agreed capital contribution).

No. Approximately 95% are operated by Franchisees and 5% are operated by KFC GB Ltd.

This depends on a number of factors including site size, ground conditions, availability and proximity of services/utilities etc. Please contact your regional AQM for more details.

Yes we can run the planning application process if it's a freehold site or assist on a leasehold basis.

Whilst we do have ideal asset designs we fully understand that developers, land-owners and Planning Authorities do have particular requirements and we are able to adapt our standard designs.

Yes. At KFC, we are confident that our great tasting food offers fantastic value, whomever it is compared to!

KFC can proceed as fast as the landlord or vendor wants to go! Assuming that we use our standard legal process and that KFC submits and runs the planning application, then we'd aim to have the site under contract (subject to planning consent and ground investigations) in three months, and planning consent achieved after a further three months. We often choose to submit the planning application earlier to accelerate the process.

KFC's facility of choice is a Drive-Thru restaurant, although in exceptional circumstances we will consider other facility types, but this will depend on the local demographics, traffic flows, the size and location of the building –Please contact your regional AQM for more details.

KFC pays market rates to secure great sites - whether this is on a rental or freehold purchase basis.
