The boss of a new fried chicken outlet in Lichfield said he was pleased to be able to bring new jobs to the area.
KFC opened its first city site at Three Spires Shopping Centre.
The venture has seen the creation of 30 new jobs and will also see the business link up with FareShare Go to help reduce food waste.
The new restaurant’s general manager, Mikey Csillag, said:
“We’re really excited to have opened our new Lichfield restaurant, answering the call to locals who have wanted a KFC to become part of their community.
“Not only are providing everyone’s favourite fried chicken, but we’re also giving back to the community by delivering new jobs to the area, while supporting food donation schemes and local litter picks.”

The restaurant is also working with St Giles Hospice, handing over a £1,000 donation as part of the opening celebrations.
Bit of a shame really. Lichfield has a great independent food scene and one of the reasons is that there’s not a big chain presence. Council is undermining what makes the town special by allowing this. Can’t believe that there wasn’t a local person that would have set up a fried chicken place given the chance.
Strange that McDonalds are [falsely] claiming 150 jobs on Eastern Ave.
It’s a shame it’s probably one of the worst KFC chains i’ve ever tried. Lets not start with the price.
Abysmal food especially open week.
The vents at the back of the restaurant when you have to walk past are extremely loud. I have also noticed it has become an area to pop out for a smoke and leave mess now.
Market forces. If it proves to popular then it’s in the right location….
i don’t like kfc, plenty of people do. No need to be snobby about it. As mentioned in earlier posts Lichfield has good independent restaurants because Lichfield city centre is really only geared up for middle class adults with disposable incomes. Something for older kids to enjoy for once will do no harm.
Jimmy, Millennium Fried Chicken have operated on Bird Street for decades. On another note, I was saddened to see KFC branded litter in Boley Cottage Lane today.
I was standing at Minster Pool yesterday and I could smell KFC’s extractor fumes as clear as day.
We’ve become Cannock with a big church.
@Harry…..Cannock with a big church!!! I like that, it’s funny and true! 🤣🤣🤣
