KFC,
the first international fast food franchise
restaurant in Suriname opened in September 1996.
This has had substantial influence on local
dining and set the standard for the QSR in
Suriname. The second restaurant opened in
February 1998. With the fully renovated units
that feature KFC International’s latest design,
KFC has been able to maintain its leadership
position in chicken.
