LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 15, 2005--America has been flocking to KFC to buy the company's innovative new 99-cent KFC® Snacker Sandwich. Some restaurants have reported astronomical sales volumes as high as 1,000 sandwiches per store per week. The KFC Snacker made its national debut in March of 2005 and combines KFC's signature, premium breast meat Extra Crispy(TM) chicken strip, lettuce and pepper mayo on a sesame seed bun. "The KFC Snacker is a huge hit with consumers because it satisfies their need for a high-quality, affordable, portable chicken sandwich," said Scott Bergren, Executive Vice President Marketing, KFC Corp. "The KFC Snacker is an example of how KFC is becoming more relevant to today's consumers. We are appealing to individuals as well as families with products that are in tune with their lifestyle needs," said Bergren. KFC is on a roll in more than one way.
