Harlan Sanders started selling fried chicken, steak, ham, and pancakes out of a gas station in North Corbin, Kentucky in 1930. When a new highway meant travelers would no longer pass the station, he began selling franchises of the pressure-fried chicken recipe to restaurant owners including a friend in Utah who saw his business triple with the introduction of "Kentucky Fried Chicken." There were 600 franchises across the country when Sanders sold out in 1963; there are now 18,000 around the world.
