CHICKEN RESTAURANT KFC plans to open 40 new outlets across the UK and Ireland this year, creating 1,600 jobs.
The expansion comes at the same time as a £40 million refurbishment plan for its existing 160 restaurants. The company says it wants to create a “more modern, welcoming environment” for diners.
New developments include a click-and-collect app, equipment to keep food fresh for longer and cookers that use less oil. There are also plans to introduce new ‘lighter options’, an updated kids’ menu, new fries and high-quality coffee.
Last year, KFC opened 40 restaurants in the UK and Ireland, investing £40 million. According to a statement released today, the firm has recorded seven consecutive years of same-store-sales growth.
“By opening new sites, improving the customer experience, introducing new technology and investing in our people, we’re confident that we will be well-placed to continue our upward trajectory,” said Martin Shuker, Managing Director, KFC UK & Ireland.
About 24,000 people are employed by KFC globally.

I think there is a new movement started in Clare called Independents together which encourages like minded people to have a voice in the running of our country. They are insistent that they are not a political party and nothing to do with Lucinda and co. I believe they have recruited candidates to run in the local elections,which is great , because people don’t know which way to vote now that they have seen the corruption of the last Gover. And the failure of this one to correct it.
What does new political movement actually mean to the person on the street I real terms… No property tax, no water charges, no a and e issues. Will we still have 166 tds on 100k a year plus expenses and advisors etc etc
A lot of these “new politicians” are also teachers with many of the taking a career break to do the honourable thing and return our country back to the people, we have had enough of teachers as they will upon getting elected receive their two pensions …..if they want to get elected resign from being a teacher before you want to be a politician that will endure you more to the people….
I think the word independent in independent td is being diluted
Great. If anyone needs any typesetting done, they know where to go. Do they advise on “photo air brushing ” etc.
Not sure if Donnelly will be involved.
He is already part of the technical group.
So do in this won’t change his impact.
Seems rather pointless TBH
Any vehicle that has Shane Ross and Pat Nulty in it is as attention seeking as it is utterly useless
the independent thought united vision doc is nice and vague, not sure the community orgs they mention are progressive
have your say
