KFC IN ISRAEL
Why did 8 KFC branches in Israel suddenly shut down?
The branches of the popular
American fried chicken chain have halted their operations in Israel and
are currently closed. The company has denied if the move is connected to
Ramadan.

Eight branches of the popular American fried chicken chain KFC have
abruptly ceased operations in Israel and are currently closed. The
affected locations include the G Mall Kfar Saba, Mall Zikhron in Zikhron
Yaakov, Big Fashion Yarka, Mall Kinneret at Tzemach Beach, Harim Mall
in Nof Hagalil, Cinema City Beersheba, Big Beersheba, and Ramlod Mall in
Ramla.
In a post on KFC Israel's Facebook page, the company announced: "Dear
customers, eight KFC branches are currently closed. We apologize for the
inconvenience. Fans of our famous tasty chicken can still enjoy KFC at
the following open locations: Yachin Petach Tikva, Renanim Mall, Ir
Yamim Mall Netanya, Cinema City Rishon Lezion, Opera Building Tel Aviv,
Haifa's Haifa Bay Shopping Center, Grand Canyon Haifa, Kiryat Bialik's
Kiryat Krayot Mall, downtown Haifa, Bilu Center, Big Ashdod, and
Givatayim Mall, which are open for dining in and takeaway."
It is worth noting that the eight
closed branches are operated by a franchisee named Mefaco, which manages
branches serving the Arab sector. The remaining 13 branches that
continue to operate as usual are managed by the Smart Service
franchisee.
In the comments on the post,
several users speculated whether the closures were related to Ramadan
(which began last Friday and continues through the end of March) and
even accused KFC of trying to conceal this. However, the company has
denied this claim. Industry sources have attributed the decision to
economic reasons.

to visit any of the 12 other KFC locations that are operating as usual.
