If you have ever walked into a KFC and thought, “boy, you know what would really bring this culinary experience to the next level, a gift shop full of unique merchandise to get my hands on”, then you are in luck.
The fast-food restaurant has read your mind as they have recently reopened the doors to their popular Kentucky Town pop-up for eleven days only – in honour of their secret recipe – at Canal Walk Shopping Centre in Cape Town.
The limited-edition menu includes some of the most popular items such as the doughnut zinger burger and spicy chips flavoured with Tabasco.
To pay homage to the city and culture of Cape Town, the menu also includes the gatsby as well as chachos (like Nachos), Simba crunch zinger wings, Kentucky fried Oreos, and a midnight mojito to close the deal.
Self-styled gentlemen can prepare their beards and moustaches for the limited release of The Colonel’s beard oil inspired by the secret eleven herbs and spices recipe.

And fashion-wise, the restaurant brings new winter gear, including limited stock of The Colonel’s onesie and PJs in addition to long sleeve vests, tracksuit pants, hoodies, and winter accessories – so fans can cuddle up in style this season.
When it comes to the winter clothing line, fans of fried chicken have mixed reactions.
Some people loved the clothing while others questioned the restaurant if people are expected to walk around publicly wearing ‘KFC’?
If you ask about what I think? I am not going to lie, I would rock some of the clothes they just dropped.
From the shirt to the bucket hats, some of the items from their collection are low-key fire.
Kentucky Town pop-up will be running from July 7 until July 17.
