I am extremely proud to be a KFC franchisee in Canada. Having an opportunity to be part of an iconic global brand has helped me to develop a unique global perspective on how I manage my business today.

KFC continues to evolve their business model by incorporating different corporate social initiatives and implementing technology that helps improve efficiencies and franchisee profitability.

KFC not only cares about the chicken they sell but also cares about their franchisees. They have an amazing culture which I feel fortunate to be part of.

As a female leader following my father’s footsteps who started this journey 25 years ago, I am proud to represent the KFC brand and the legacy of our family business.

The KFC brand has supported entrepreneurs like us in striving to achieve our goals from marketing to product innovation while keeping our business at the forefront of the industry. They continue to provide the resources and support to make sure that we are successful in leading the company into the future by committing to sustainability, and to creating an environment that is respectful and inclusive of all.

I am grateful to have the foundation of our brand, which has enabled us the freedom to run our business our way, but with the added benefits of being part of a larger globally recognized network.

Restaurants have always been a passion of mine and prior to 2011, I knew that KFC was a brand that I wanted to be a part of. YUM! Brands (including KFC) is the largest restaurants company in the world and with that comes a breadth of experience, knowledge, support and a culture that is second to none.

The model for success is clearly defined and partnering with such an iconic brand, loved by Canadians, has proven to be the right decision. I am appreciative of the opportunity to be part of such a global family, and I feel confident in my business’ future.
