A Colonel, a Pressure Cooker, and a Big Idea

By the 1930s, the concept of franchising was picking up steam—but nobody steamed quite like Harland Sanders, better known as Colonel Sanders.

Running a gas station in Kentucky, he began serving fried chicken to travelers. His secret? A pressure cooker that reduced cook time without sacrificing flavor, plus a proprietary blend of 11 herbs and spices.

But when a new highway diverted traffic from his restaurant, Sanders didn’t fold. Instead, he franchised his recipe to other restaurant owners. In exchange for a small commission on each chicken sold, they got access to the name, the branding, and the closely guarded recipe.

By 1964, there were over 600 Kentucky Fried Chicken locations.

Colonel Sanders proved that a great product + a duplicatable system = franchise gold. He didn’t build new stores—he built a movement, fueled by entrepreneurial partners who wanted a piece of the secret recipe success.

Today, his face is still on the bucket. That’s the power of a franchise done right.

Fried chicken and ice cream, two American favorites.
