KFC was forced into closing many of its restaurants in the UK after it ran out of chicken. Branches in Bristol, Berkshire, Cheshire, Devon, Newcastle, Suffolk and Surrey were all affected by an issue with the chain's new delivery partner.    Link
 
 
Sounds like a total fowl up. The chickens have stopped clucking. The cluck stops here.

    It sounds like they really laid an egg, this time.

    Used to run out of cheese at the pizza place I worked at. It was mind blowing to customers.

    They should have seen this coming. Consumption has been rising for a few years and increasing production has not kept up.

    It has to be a pretty major mess up for this level of supply shortfall.

    I bet the cows are not too happy about that.

    The problem is with suppliers and KFC's management really cooked an egg with this one.

    I was just going to mention this. Yeah their apology strategy was gutsy but apparently the response was mostly amazing. (Google "KFC apologizes" in case you missed it.)

    Reminds me of something. We had a pizza place opened nearby about 10 years ago. So, my family and I went there to check it out. We sat down, took the menus, chose the pizza, and called back a waiter. When we began talking, she interrupted us and said:
     
    "Oh, you want pizza? I'm so sorry, but we are out of dough! But we have loads of salad!"
     
    Hasn't come back there since.

    My last move was to a small town 60 miles from nowhere. I had 3 fast food restaurants, McD, DQ, and KFC to choose from and a couple of cheap all-you-can buffets. What else does one need? (other than cholesterol pills)?
     
    I've always been a regular at KFC, Original Recipe please !
     
    Sadly, urban nirvana has been following me and after a Walmart opened which sells whole roasted chicken, and chicken tenders by the shovel full, a Chick-fil-a, and a Zaxby's Chicken.  The KFC turned belly-up and is now a Dunkin Donuts selling $2 donuts by the box to the college students who just take out another gov't loan to pay for it.
     
    There's still a KFC in a town about 20 miles away, and I try to remember to get a bucket of Original whenever I pass thru.
