The chain, which already operates more than 900 UK branches, has released a list of areas where it is hoping to either build new sites, take over empty buildings or relocate existing restaurants.

According to the company, drive-thru sites are its most popular type and can be fit into vacant sites of more than 0.3 acres. Existing building conversions will also be considered.
Meanwhile, its restaurant options are considered where drive-thrus cannot be accommodated.
KFC has encouraged developers to contact them if they have a space that could be of interest, and said they would pay £20,000 ‘for all recognised introductions’.
