cowboybud Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 The founder of Ron's Krispy Fried Chicken was a KFC franchisee, and he's still in the food business. https://ronsfoods.com/rons-story/ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugtoaster Posted March 14, 2023 Author Share Posted March 14, 2023 Yes, that's the one, thanks. Except I wouldn't have described the bread as 'biscuits' like those at a KFC. More like soft dinner rolls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Ron was involved with KFC, but I think only outside of Houston. Inside of the city limits, the Hartzog family owned the rights within town and sold them at their "Hart's" restaurant chain. I'm pretty sure the Rosenberg Ron's did sell KFC before The Colonel decided to stop licensing the food and building restaurants. In the end I believe Ron's mostly became Church's locations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC Church's acquired Ron's in the early 1980s. One of my friends always refused to patronize Church's after the Ron's acquisition because very little of what made Ron's great (specifically, their far superior chicken) remained after Church's took over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
