KFC Malaysia now has more than 480 outlets in four countries

THE story of KFC Malaysia makes for an interesting read, tracing how it grew from its modest beginnings three decades ago to emerge as the leading Western fast service restaurant operator in the region today.

The first restaurant opened in Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman, Kuala Lumpur, in 1973, and from just that one store, the company has expanded to more than 480 outlets in four countries so far – Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore and Cambodia.
