Humble beginning of KFC
In 1930, the then 40 year old Sanders was operating a service station in Corby, Kentucky, USA and he encountered a lot of hungry travellers who stopped for gas. He saw that the travellers wanted to eat something as there was nothing available in that area. He saw and understood the problem. As a child, he used to cook for his siblings and so he knew how to cook, which instigated him to cook for the travellers. He did not even have a restaurant to serve food but his secret blend of 11 herbs and spices made his chicken recipe such a super hit among travellers that he started getting regular customers for his food, which prompted him to start a restaurant. This is the humble beginning of the world famous fast food chain “KFC - Kentucky Fried Chicken”.
