Los Angeles-Long Beach, CA (1888PressRelease)
June 11, 2008 - More than 65 years ago, Colonel Harland Sanders revolutionized fried chicken by introducing his now-famous Original Recipe® Chicken. Today, KFC continues to offer the Colonel's great KFC taste but now in their first-ever KFC Value Menu.
Exclusive to the Los Angeles market, this 12-item value menu offers customers a wide selection of new options along with traditional favorites. Customers can enjoy tasty KFC Snackers®, fun-to-eat Popcorn Chicken Snack Boxes, or an all-new Original Recipe® or Colonel’s Crispy Chicken Sandwich.
“We are offering the Colonel's great-tasting chicken at an even more affordable price, and with a variety to satisfy everyone's tastes,” said Ed Thomas, KFC-LA advertising co-op president.
The new KFC Value Menu has an emphasis on portable products that will leave taste buds satisfied, bellies full and wallets happy. Research with fast food customers showed that they want the great taste of KFC in full size, portable products that are affordably priced.
“KFC's new Value Menu is real KFC food. All the items have the same great taste and quality you’d expect from KFC. No corners were cut, no size reduced, just a wide variety of finger lickin' good food starting at just 99 cents,” Thomas added. “Ultimately, we are giving LA the great taste they love at a price they'll love even more.”
KFC's new Value Menu is currently available in the Los Angeles area market only. Customers may print a coupon for a free Original Recipe® Sandwich with the purchase of a large drink from www.kfc-la.com from now until July 13, 2008. Visit www.kfc-la.com for a complete value menu listing and www.KFC.com for additional information on KFC.
The KFC Value Menu launch is supported by local TV, radio, internet and print ads developed by DGWB Advertising based in Orange County, CA.
