KFC is also launching "Kwench," a beverage platform featuring offerings such as boba refreshers, krunch shakes, sparkling lemonades, and iced coffees, currently rolling out in select locations. The restaurant design is evolving toward dynamic, hospitality-driven spaces debuting in locations like McKinney, and branding updates include a refreshed KFC bucket with red "KFC" lettering and a slightly updated Colonel Sanders image.
