From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Crown Fried Chicken is a rapidly growing giant fast-food restaurant chain in the United States, with each restaurant being independently owned. The original restaurant was founded in 1979 in New York City, NY, under the former name Kennedy Fried Chicken. Throughout the years, the chain has grown to many restaurants in and around the east coast of the United States. Although not every restaurant displays the logo Crown Fried Chicken at the front, the menus, recipes and food products are exactly the same. Even the owners, managers and employees of the restaurants are similar, mostly Afghan nationals that settled in the United States since very early in the 1980s.
[edit] History
Crown Fried Chicken emerged, under the names of Kennedy Fried Chicken and Texas Fried Chicken, from New York City in 1979. It slowly began expanding to nearby cities in the early 1980s. Footage of one restaurant can be seen in the thriller movie Fighting Back, which was filmed in the Kensington section of Philadelphia, PA.
