KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN. The company was founded as Kentucky Fried Chicken by Colonel Harland Sanders in 1952, though the idea of KFC's fried chicken actually goes back to 1930. Although Sanders died in 1980, he remains an important part of the company's branding and advertisements, and "Colonel Sanders" or "The Colonel" is a metonym for the company itself.
The company adopted KFC, an abbreviated form of its name, in 1991. Starting in April 2007, the company began using its original name, Kentucky Fried Chicken, for its signage, packaging and advertisements in the U.S. as part of a new corporate re-branding program; newer and remodeled restaurants will adopt the new logo and name, while older stores will continue to use the 1980s signage. Additionally, Yum! continues to use the abbreviated name freely in its advertising.
The 1966 through 1972 Dubuque City Directory listed 1013 Dodge.
The 1974 Dubuque City Directory listed 2000 Central and 1013 Dodge.
The 1977 through 1993 Dubuque City Directory listed 2000 Central, 1725 John F. Kennedy, and 1013 Dodge.
