KFC Is Crashing Hard, With Hundreds of Stores Being Closed (Video)
In this 16 September 2026 published video, host Michael Bordenaro talks abour today’s KFC.
Reports from Yum! Brands outline at least 207 permanent U.S. closures between January 2025 and March 2026. A comprehensive study by Local Falcon cross-referenced the brand’s live store locator against Google Maps, finding 312 total permanent store disappearances between July 2025 and July 2026. California lost the most locations in raw numbers (44 stores), followed closely by Texas (34 stores). Proportionally, Kansas lost over 21 percent of its entire KFC presence.
Fast food analysts and reviewers attribute the domestic decline to a combination of operational hurdles and fierce competition. Consumers are consistently favoring rivals like Chick-fil-A and Raising Cane’s. In a broad review of Google Maps ratings, KFC averaged just 3.42 stars, the lowest score among major national chicken competitors. Escalating real estate costs, labor expenses, and franchisee bankruptcies (such as the sudden closure of 25 midwestern EYM Chicken locations) have squeezed profit margins. Customers have heavily critiqued the chain for high prices alongside slower modern technology adoption and low consumer satisfaction rankings.
Despite sliding backward in America, KFC as a global entity is actually thriving. The domestic market now only accounts for 13 percent of KFC’s system sales. While hundreds of stores closed in the U.S., KFC’s parent company expanded rapidly abroad, opening nearly 3,000 new international locations—particularly dominating markets in China and Europe,

I might have had a McDonald’s chicken sandwich once ever back in 2007.
Popeyes, Raisin Canes, Churches all really suck bad.
Chik Fillet is decent.
Best thing you can do is make it at home, the way you like it.
When you settle for food made by someone else, you’re settling for how they make it.
Make it yourself just how you like it.
I don’t understand people. KFC make the BEST fried chicken in the world. Where they failed was the HIGH ENORMOUS price you have to pay to eat it. I won’t go or buy any other chicken because this the BEST fried chicken, PERIOD. NOBODY can beat them. In fact, I”m going today to get some because they have a special every Thursday.
The last time I went to KFC, a chicken bucket for 4 was close to the same paper cup as a large Coke at McDonald’s, which I do not recommend either. Was that really chicken?
