never seen one like this!
We are in the NAFTA (worst trade deal ever made) renegotiation process with Mexico & Canada.Both
being very difficult,may have to terminate?
With Mexico being one of the highest crime Nations in the world, we must have THE WALL. Mexico will
pay for it through reimbursement/other.

A chicken restaurant without any chicken. It’s
not ideal. Huge apologies to our customers,
especially those who travelled out of their way
to find we were closed. And endless thanks to
our KFC team members and our franchise
partners for working tirelessly to improve the
situation. It’s been a hell of a week, but we’re
making progress, and every day more and more
fresh chicken is being delivered to our
restaurants. Thank you for bearing with us.
WE’RE SORRY.
