Australia’s biggest KFC franchise operator, Collins Foods, has lifted the lid on the staggering earnings behind its fried chicken empire, reporting $1.15 billion in revenue from 288 Australian stores last financial year.

That works out to more than $4 million in sales per restaurant, with the business generating $245 million in profit, or an average of about $773,000 per store, helped by new restaurant openings and steady sales growth.

Investors piled in after the results, driving the share price sharply higher, while the company signalled further expansion with plans to open up to 10 new KFC outlets next year and as many as 30 by 2028.



Collins Foods also flagged a growing shift to digital ordering, with online, app and kiosk sales now accounting for more than a third of revenue, underscoring the strength of fast food as both a consumer staple and a highly prized retail property investment.

  1. I simply can’t remember the last time I’ve been in a McDonald’s or a KFC. That stuff is crap.

    I was a regular. Addicted to that lifestyle. I see how the young are sucked in. The chemicals used, packaging and convenience. A social activity with mates.

    Today I am carful what I eat. No processed food. Beef, less carbohydrates like potatoes. I eat stemed geeens, corn off the cob. I acknowledge other cultures eat spicy food, Haven’t investigated it too much. For me its just to painful to eat.

    Do not drink tap water or cook with it. If you have a sweet tooth as I do, dark pure chocolate is OK. White sugar isn’t and manufactured, sweets are usually not.

    Trust me, even without exercising the weight falls off in about 3 months and you will feel much better.

    There is a financial, win too. If you want to know how to waste $10,000, spend $27,40 each day for a year.
