Identification of areas where the network is loose.","# The KFC Map in France: A Growing Network\n\nWith approximately 380 restaurants claimed by the chain by the end of 2024, KFC is the third-largest fast-food chain in France behind McDonald's (1,530) and Burger King (~500). Its growth has doubled its park in 10 years.\n\n## Distribution in Our Database\n\nOur SIRENE indexing records 28 franchised KFC companies operating 163 declared establishments, of which 139 are open. This represents approximately 40% of the chain’s actual park – a coverage exceeding that of McDonald’s (where most franchisees have company names like SARL that do not contain “McDonald’s”).\n\n## Top 10 Departments\n\n| Rank | Department | Tagged Companies |\n|---|---|---|\n| 1 | Paris (75) | 15 |\n| 2 | Nord (59) | 14 |\n| 3 | Rhône (69) | 13 |\n| 4 | Haute-Garonne (31) | 12 |\n| 5 | Seine-Saint-Denis (93) | 10 |\n| 6 | Bouches-du-Rhône (13) | 9 |\n| 7 | Val-d'Oise (95) | 8 |\n| 8 | Hérault (34) | 7 |\n| 8 | Val-de-Marne (94) | 7 |\n| 10 | Isère (38) | 6 |\n\n## Strategic Reading\n\n**The strength of the urban mesh** – Paris, Nord, Rhône, Haute-Garonne: KFC is very present in major urban centers and their peripheries. This concentration aligns with the main demographic target (young adults 18-35, urban middle classes).\n\n**The Ile-de-France hub** – Paris + Seine-Saint-Denis + Val-d'Oise + Val-de-Marne represent ~40 of the 28 tagged companies. This is the most densely covered area, and where competition with McDonald’s and Burger King is most direct.\n\n**The Lyon hub** – Rhône (13) + Isère (6): a true development hub with well-established multi-site franchisees for a long time.\n\n**The Southern Mediterranean hub** – Bouches-du-Rhône + Hérault: strong growth in the last 5 years, capitalizing on tourism and the youth of the area.\n\n## Untapped Zones\n\nUnlike McDonald’s which covers almost the entire territory, KFC leaves large areas un-covered:\n\n- **Massif Central**: Cantal, Lozère, Creuse, Corrèze, Aveyron – almost zero KFC\n- **Brittany interior**: Interior Finistère and Côtes-d'Armor under-covered\n- **Rural Northeast**: Vosges, Haute-Saône, Doubs interior\n- **Corsica**: zero restaurants in 2024\n\nThese zones constitute the priority implantation opportunities over the 2025-2035 decade, within the necessary population density limit (a KFC ideally requires 30,000 inhabitants in its catchment area).\n\n## Target 600+ by 2028\n\nKFC France has publicly announced a target of 600+ restaurants by 2027-2028. At 50 openings per year, this target is achievable. Franchise profiles seeking multi-site contracts will find this territory particularly active.\n\n## To Go Further\n\n- [History of KFC in France: 30 years since Cergy 1991](/fr/blog/kfc-france-histoire-1991-2024)\n- [2024 Financial Analysis of KFC Franchisees](/fr/blog/kfc-france-analyse-financiere-2024)\n- [Become a KFC Franchisee in France](/fr/blog/kfc-france-modele-franchise)","4 min","2026-05-31T20:16:55.000Z","2026-06-07T23:52:52.000Z",15,"marques","bg-amber-500","Marques","\u003Ch1>The KFC Map in France: A Growing Network\u003C/h1>\n\u003Cp>With approximately 380 restaurants claimed by the chain by the end of 2024, KFC is the third-largest fast-food chain in France behind McDonald’s (1,530) and Burger King (~500).
