See, they love it too! How much gas are YOU willing to burn to eat fried chicken ? New Zealand Town Plans Bus Trip To KFC After Fire Destroyed Local Restaurant via Stuff A colonel’s road trip is being organised to help New Plymouth fried chicken fans satisfy their cravings. The New Plymouth store caught fire at the start of the month and has been closed for two weeks while it’s stripped and re-built. Whispers about a bus trip to the Hawera store this weekend surfaced yesterday after a post appeared on the KFC Facebook page asking if anyone was interested. General manager Jamie McKaughan confirmed the speculation, saying “there was a lot of truth to the rumours”. “I want to help our wonderful New Plymouth community. We’re going to put a colonel’s coach together and offer it up in a competition. We’ll put them on a bus to Hawera let them have their meal then bus them back,” he said. “It’s probably going to be at least another four weeks before the drive-through is open and another six to eight weeks before we re-open the whole story.” Lmao! REALLY?? Is it THAT serious??? In the meantime, fans of the colonel’s secret recipe having been travelling south for a fix, McKaughan said. Committed chicken lovers did the same thing in 2010 when the New Plymouth store closed while it underwent a $1.5 million upgrade. When it did re-open, less than three months later, there was a stampede on the restaurant which caused traffic chaos and waits of up to 40 minutes. Competition details are yet to be finalised but McKaughan said he hoped they would be released to the public later this week. Not sure what the black population of New Zealand is, but if this doens’t destroy the stereotype then nothing will.
