Iminyaka Yokuqala
UHarland Sanders wazalwa efama e-Indiana. Ukulala malunga nobudala bakhe, wajoyina i-US Army ngo-1906 waza wahlala eCuba. Isikhundla sakhe seColonel asizange siphume emsebenzini wakhe wempi, nangona kunjalo. Inqaku elizukileyo linikezelwa kabini, kanye neKhansela yaseKentucky uRuby Laffoon ngo-1935, kwaye kwakhona ngo-1950 nguGavana Lawrence Wetherby.
Nangona kungenjalo njengengqungquthela kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo kungekho ngaphandle kwidrama, ngeendlela ezininzi, ubuntwaneni bukaHarland bufana kakhulu nolunye lwama-franchisee yakhe yokuqala, uDave Thomas , umsunguli weWendy's. UHarland wakhula wabahlwempuze kwaye wayefuna ukuzinyameka esemncinci. Emva kokufa kukayise xa uHarland wayeneminyaka eyisithandathu kuphela, umsebenzi wakhe umama wamyeka kude nekhaya ixesha elide kwaye uHarland omncinane wayefuna ukupheka nokunyamekela abazalwana bakhe. Ngethuba eliba li-10 ubudala, wathatha umsebenzi njengomfama wasefama kwaye, ebomini bakhe ngaphambi kweKFC, wayesebenzisa iinqwelo zeehashe, wayephethe umqhubi wesitrato, umthengisi we-inshorensi, umthumeli womzila, umsizi wesikhonkco, uhlambulule i-ashbins kwiitreni, wayesebenza ngesikebhe Umlambo wase-Ohio, uthengise inshorensi yomshuwalense, uthengise amathayi emoto, waba ngumbelethisi onikezela iintsana, wayephethe isikhululo seenkonzo zepetroli, kwaye wayengunobhala eColumbus, e-Indiana Chamber of Commerce.
Ekugqibeleni uColonel Sanders ufumene idigri yakhe yomthetho ngokuthatha izifundo zokubambisana ukusuka kwi-University of LaSalle Extension kwaye waqalisa umgaqo-nkqubo omfutshane weminyaka emithathu kwiinkonzo zoxolo kwi-Little Rock, Arkansas. Umsebenzi wakhe wezomthetho waphela emva kokungena kwi-fistfight kunye nomnye wabaxumi bakhe.
Ngo-1930 uSanders waba ngumthengisi we-Shell Oil Company kwaye, ukuphucula ukuthengisa kwakhe, waqala ukuthengisa izitya zeenkukhu, i-steak, ham, kunye nokunye ukuthuthuzela ukutya kumakhasimende akhe.
Indawo yokudlela yasekuqaleni yayiyitafile yekhitshi wayibeka phambi kwesikhululo seenkonzo kwaye ekugqibeleni, wavula i-Sander's Café, yokutyela yakhe yokuqala, ngapha kwesitalato ukusuka kwisikhululo senkonzo. Ngenxa yokuba wayeziva ukuba kuthatha ixesha elide ukupheka, ivenkile yakhe yokuqala ayifuni ukukhonza inkukhu ethosiweyo. Akuzange kufike emva koko xa ehlakulela iresiphi yakhe eyimfihlo yemifuno engu-11 kunye neziqholo kwaye waqala ukupheka inkukhu yakhe kwi-cooker. Ndiyakhumbula uDave Thomas anditsho ukuba enye yeengozi zokupheka kweColonel yayikukuba abapheki beengcinezelo bavame ukuqhuma.
USanders wayengumthengisi onobudlova kwi-yokutyela yakhe kunye nesitishi seenkonzo, kwaye italente yakhe nentliziyo yakhe yamenza ingxaki enomnye wabamncintisana nabo. AbakwaSanders baqala ukupenda iintengiso kwisitishi sakhe seenkonzo kunye nevenkile kwiindawo zokugcina iikhilomitha ezikuloo ndawo. Omnye wabathengisi bakhe, uMat Stewart, owayesebenza kwisikhululo se-Standard Oil, wahlukana neentengiso zeColonel waza waqala ukupenda ngeempawu zakhe. USanders waya kuStewart, ehamba kunye nabaphathi ababini beShell. Ngexesha lokulwa, uStewart wadubula waza wabulala uRobert Gibson, omnye wabaphathi bezithili zikaShell kwaye ngexesha lokulwa, uSanders wadubula uStewart waza wamlimaza ehlombe.
UStewart ubenecala lokubulala, kodwa izityholo ezimalunga noSanders zaye zalahlwa emva kokubanjwa kwakhe.
I-Kentucky Fried Chicken Franchise iqala
AbakwaSanders baqhuba ngokuphumelelayo i-motel eneendawo zokutyela zokuhlala ezili-140 e-Asheville, eNorth Carolina ngexesha le-1940, kodwa ngexesha leMfazwe Yehlabathi II nge-gas rationsing, i-motel kunye nevenkile yaqala ukuhluleka.

Ngomnyaka we-1952, ehlala kwi $ 105 kwinyanga yokuhlola ukhuseleko loluntu, uColonel Sanders waqala umsebenzi wakhe wokugqibela.
AbakwaSanders baqala ukuhamba ngelo lizwe, bepheka endleleni, bazimisele ukukhwela inkukhu yakhe enyusiweyo. Uninzi lwabatyityeli abadibana nabo behleka ngengubo yakhe yokutyikitywa kwekhati elimhlophe, umtya omnyama, kunye neengubo ezimhlophe kunye neebhulukhwe. Kukhona umfanekiso omhle kaColonel noDave Thomas bobabini begqoke iingubo zomqondiso zikaKolonel.
U-Pete Harman wayengumhlobo waseSanders waza waqhuba enye yeyona ndawo yokutya eyona ndawo enkulu kwiSalt Lake City.

Ngokukhawuleza abaninzi abanikazi beevenkile basayina izivumelwano zokuthengiswa kwee-franchise kunye no-Sanders ngenkokhelo yentlawulo ye-franchise yezine (4) eentente nganye ngenkukhu.
Kwakukho ngeli xesha lokuqala apho uColonel wadibana noDave Thomas. UDave ngelo xesha wayesebenza njengompheki kubasebenzi beentsapho zaseClauss kwiindawo zokudlela zeHobby House. KwakunguDave owaphuhlisa ibhakethi yenkukhu ebomvu-ebomvu ene-red-and-white eyaba ngumqondiso weklasi ngaphandle kwendawo yokutya yaseKentucky Fried yokutya nganye, kwaye ngubani oye wanciphisa indlela yokuhanjiswa ngokudala "inyoka" esetyenzisiweyo namhlanje kwiindawo ezininzi zokutyela .

Brown kunye noJack Massey ngezigidi ezigidi zeedola, egcina eCanada ngokwakhe kwaye engabandakanyi i-England, iFlorida, i-Utah ne-Montana ukuba wayithengisile kwabanye.
USanders waqhubeka etyelela iindawo zaseKentucky Fried Chicken kwaye, njengengummeli wayo, watyhila ezininzi iintengiso zeTV kwaye wenza ukubonakala kwakhe. UHeublein wathenga inkampani ngo-1971, kwaye emva kokufunyanwa kwabo uColonel Sanders baqala ukugxeka imveliso yenkampani ngemigqabhagqabhagqabha, ebiza i-gravy "i-god-damned slop" okanye "unobumba lwephepha lodonga oye wongezwa" kwaye uchaza abaphathi bakaHeublein ngokuthi " isiqwenga sesibhozo. "
Ngethuba esengummeli wakhe wezentengiso, yena nomkakhe uClaudia bavula "indawo yokudlela yaseKolbyville, yaseKentucky," e-Shelbyville, eKentucky, ngo-1968. UHeublein wazama ukumisa isibini esivumelwaneni kunye nokuxazulula imbambano, uSanders wathola i-$ 1 yezigidi ngokutshintshiselana ngenxa yesithembiso sakhe sokuyeka ukugxeka ukutya kukaKentucky Fried Chicken kwaye wavunyelwa ukuvula ivenkile yakhe. Ukuqamba kabusha "iKlaudia Sanders House Dinner House," ivenkile yayiyindawo yokudlela yokuphela kwee-Chicken e-Kentucky Fried yokukhonza inyaniso ye-recipe yaseYander yangaphambili.
