KFC Pakistan

KFC was introduced to Pakistan through the Belgian Artal group in June 1997, seeing initial success in Karachi. However, following Pakistan's 1998 nuclear tests and ensuing US sanctions, KFC faced operational challenges due to its import-dependent supply chain. This resulted in ownership transferring to the Cupola Group in 2001. By 2014, the brand faced challenges, prompting Yum! Brands to introduce managerial changes. Based on AC Nielsen research, KFC adjusted its market positioning and pricing, and updated its outlets and digital platforms. == Food items ==
