History of KFC KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) was founded by Colonel Harland Sanders, an entrepreneur who began selling fried chicken from his roadside restaurant in Corbin, Kentucky, during the Great Depression. Sanders identified the potential of restaurant franchising, and the first "Kentucky Fried Chicken" franchise opened in Salt Lake City, Utah in 1952. KFC popularized chicken in the fast-food industry, diversifying the market by challenging the established dominance of the hamburger. Branding himself "Colonel Sanders", the founder became a prominent figure of American cultural history, and his image remains widely used in KFC advertising. The company's rapid expansion made it too large for Sanders to manage, so in 1964 he sold the company to a group of investors led by John Y. Brown, Jr. and Jack C. Massey.

Magruder's Magruder's is a grocery store and former chain in and around the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. The store is owned by a family who themselves were born and grew up in the Washington area. Magruder's is known for offering low prices on produce and other groceries. The store is much smaller than those of a larger chain like Giant Food or Safeway; therefore, the variety and availability of some products sometimes does not equal that of these larger chains. On the other hand, the store has greater flexibility in ordering and carries items like organic grape juice year round. As of 2006, Magruder's no longer uses loyalty cards that allow the holder to save money on purchases. In January 2013 Magruder's sold its Connecticut Avenue, DC store (which will continue to operate under the Magruder's name) and began liquidation sales at its other four stores.
