Colonel Sanders
Colonel Harland David Sanders was an American businessman and founder of the fast-food chain Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC). Born in 1890, Sanders held various jobs throughout his life, including working as a steam engine stoker, insurance salesman, and filling station operator. He developed his famous "secret recipe" during the Great Depression and recognized the potential of franchising his recipe, leading to the opening of the first KFC franchise in 1952. Despite facing numerous rejections and personal setbacks, Sanders persisted and became a symbol of the company, traveling extensively to promote KFC and maintain its quality standards.
