Miss Millie's Fried Chicken Limited, commonly known as Miss Millie's, is a British fast-food restaurant chain founded in 1988 in Bristol, England. The chain specialises in fried chicken and related menu items, operating across Southern England.
History
[edit]Miss Millie's was founded by Harry Latham, who had previously worked alongside Colonel Sanders to introduce KFC to the UK in the 1960s.[1][2] The business was originally incorporated under the name "Finger Lickin' Chicken Limited" in 1963 before rebranding to "Miss Millie's Fried Chicken Limited" in 1990.[3]
The brand name "Miss Millie's" was chosen as a tribute to Colonel Sanders' daughter, Mildred.[4] Miss Millie's remained a family-run businessuntil it was sold to new owners in 2019.[5][6]
In 2023, Miss Millie's signed a franchise partnership with Motor Fuel Group (MFG) to open locations at petrol station forecourts, marking the brand’s expansion beyond the South West region.[7][8]
Later in 2023, the chain opened its first Bristol city-centre outlet in over 30 years as part of a company rebrand.[9] Miss Millie's also announced plans at this time to expand its footprint across the UK, targeting up to 100 locations over the next five years.[10]
Recognition
[edit]Miss Millie’s Scotland concession was featured in the Forecourt Trader Awards 2024, recognising excellence in forecourt retail outlets.[11]
Community and cultural impact
[edit]Miss Millie's has operated in Bristol’s fast-food market since the late 1980s, sometimes engaging in local rivalries with other restaurants through their marketing campaigns. When American chain Popeyes opened in Bristol, Miss Millie's responded by launching a billboard campaign; this was covered by local news outlets.[12][13]
