Colonel Harland David Sanders (1890–1980) was an American businessman and founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC). Born in Indiana, Sanders worked various jobs before opening a roadside restaurant in North Corbin, Kentucky, in the 1930s. He developed a cooking method using a pressure cooker and a proprietary blend of spices for fried chicken, which became known as his secret recipe. After losing his restaurant to a highway relocation in the 1950s, Sanders franchised his recipe nationwide at age 62, establishing KFC as a major fast-food chain. He became the company's primary spokesman and brand ambassador, appearing in advertisements and on packaging with his distinctive white suit, goatee, and black string tie. Sanders sold KFC to investors in 1964 but remained involved with the brand and continued as its public face. He was inducted into the Kentucky Entrepreneurs Hall of Fame and became widely recognized as an American businessman and fast-food pioneer.
