Founded by Harland Sanders, who began selling fried chicken from a roadside restaurant in Corbin, Kentucky during the Depression and perfected his "Original Recipe" of 11 herbs and spices through the 1940s. He started franchising in 1952 at age 62 after his original restaurant was bypassed by a new highway, using his "Colonel" persona — an honorary Kentucky title, not a military rank — as the brand's face. He sold the company in 1964 but remained its public spokesman until his death in 1980, and his image is still used in marketing worldwide today.
