The story about why Kentucky Fried Chicken, founded by Harland Sanders, changes it name to KFC would be to take away the word “fried” in it’s name. The term “fried” has negative connatations like being unhealthy, having high cholesterol levels, causing obesity and much more. Therefore, being an effort to rebrand themselves like a healthier family restaurant that catches the eye of people spanning various ages, including health conscious people, Kentucky Fried Chicken renamed itself as KFC.
Version Two: The US food reviewed the operations of Kentucky Fried Chicken and discovered your these are rearing genetically modified chickens, with extra huge breasts and additional legs to reap the meat from(the amount is different from 3 to 4). The united states food and drug administration declares these creatures can not be marketed as “chickens” and Kentucky Fried Chicken, often unwilling to lose a real lucrative operation that you follow the policies, decided to change its name to KFC instead to get rid of the term “chicken”.
The fact is that Kentucky Fried Chicken decides to change its name is always to not pay back license fees to the condition of Kentucky. In 1990, the state of Kentucky decides to trademark their name, to be able to reduce their accumulating debts. Therefore, Kentucky Fried Chicken be forced to pay a sum of money towards the state for using “Kentucky”.
Obviously, these are hesitant to because they have been deploying it for pretty much 4 decades(they started in the 1950s) and refused to pay for such royalties really should be principle. After much negotiations, we were holding unable to budge government entities stance and thus decided to change their name instead of paying. This coincides using the rebranding campaign as mentioned earlier and everything been found well.
The evidence that implies until this version holds true is the fact that many events and businesses had also changed their name to eliminate the phrase “Kentucky”. The examples add the most famous horse race in United states, formerly called the “Kentucky Derby” changes to “The run for that roses”, the provider of seeds and nursery outfits “Kentucky Bluegrass” changes to “Shenandoah Bluegrass” as well as the song “Kentucky Woman” by Neil Diamond was dropped from stereo at their own request as he would shed more pounds money for making payment on the condition of Kentucky royally compared to what he receive in the station.
