Sales at one of the coun­try’s most pop­u­lar fast food fran­chis­es have plateaued due to job loss­es and gen­er­al eco­nom­ic un­cer­tain­ty in T&T.

This was con­firmed by Roger Ramb­harose, KFC and Piz­za Hut’s vice-pres­i­dent when asked about the fried chick­en gi­ant’s 2025 per­for­mance in this coun­try yes­ter­day.

“We have seen a bit of a slow­down in the last cou­ple months. I think con­sumer spend­ing, in light of every­thing that is go­ing around—the so­cial and po­lit­i­cal is­sues—per­sons are be­ing a bit cau­tious. How­ev­er, brands like KFC, we tend to ben­e­fit to some ex­tent, be­cause we of­fer every­day val­ue. We of­fer great in­no­va­tions and per­sons come to the brand for com­fort. So we see it as an op­por­tu­ni­ty and a re­spon­si­bil­i­ty, at the same time that we need to pro­vide even bet­ter val­ue for our con­sumers, es­pe­cial­ly in dif­fi­cult times,” said Ramb­harose fol­low­ing the launch of KFC’s Crunch-ni­val cam­paign at the Bri­an Lara Prom­e­nade, in front of the brand’s In­de­pen­dence Square branch.
