KFC branch at Friedrichstreet 45 in 10969 Berlin.
""On Thursday, April 28, John B. Emerson, US Ambassador to Germany, and Greg Creed, CEO of KFC's parent company Yum! Brands, Inc. at Checkpoint Charlie, the ninth KFC restaurant in Berlin.
It is located in the same building complex as the Wall Museum.
For Ambassador Emerson, the opening is a special occasion: "Four days ago, President Obama opened the Hannover Messe, the largest industrial trade fair in the world," says Emerson. The President stressed there: "We are ready to do even more trade with Germany, Europe and the world". Emerson confirmed: "More trade means more investment and more jobs. KFC is an important part of this equation. Every new restaurant that KFC opens in Germany strengthens the economic ties between our two countries".
Greg Creed, CEO Yum! Brands, Inc. travelled to the capital for the opening: "I am very proud of the opening of our restaurant at this special location directly at Checkpoint Charlie. This restaurant is the latest milestone in our success story in Germany, where we have quadrupled the number of openings since 2012," says Creed. At Checkpoint Charlie, KFC presents a completely new design. "With this concept, we are continuing our nationwide expansion strategy, in which we are increasingly focusing on smaller locations in busy inner city locations," says Insa Klasing, General Manager of KFC Germany.
The new Berlin restaurant at Checkpoint Charlie can be easily reached by public transport thanks to its immediate proximity to the Kochstrasse/Checkpoint Charlie underground station. The opening of the company's own restaurant will create almost 40 new jobs. The KFC team pampers its guests at Checkpoint Charlie from Sunday to Thursday from 10:00 to 23:00 hrs. On Fridays and Saturdays the new location is open from 10:00 to 24:00.
A total of 49 seats are available to guests in the modern indoor area on 88 m2. The total area of the restaurant is 347 m2. "The new restaurant is the first Berlin location to be designed in the new KFC design. Here our guests have the opportunity to share the freshly breaded KFC chicken specialities with their family or friends in a cosy and warm atmosphere", explains Yvonne Hänel, Restaurant General Manager. "Here you can not only taste the uniqueness of the products, but also experience what makes them so special. Numerous wall motifs represent the long cooking tradition, the secret KFC recipe of 11 herbs and spices, but also the Instore Prepared method of our company founder Colonel Harland Sanders, according to which fresh food is cooked daily in the restaurants," says Hänel."
