Despite efforts to make remaining supplies last through the evening rush, the Newport Road branch has now exhausted its stock.
Earlier in the evening, Island Echo was told by those at the restaurant just 30 pieces of chicken remained – a situation that may have sparked memories of the infamous chicken shortage of 2018, as previously reported by Island Echo.
Customers arriving at the restaurant later in the evening have been met with the disappointing news that practically all of the menu is unavailable.
It is unclear whether KFC will close early tonight (Wednesday) as a result. It is unclear if the Newport branch has also been affected.
UPDATE ON THURSDAY – It has been confirmed to Island Echo that an issue with a piece of equipment was to blame for the issue.
Engineers are on site today (Thursday) attempting to fix the issue as soon as possible.
KFC remains closed, but it is hoped that the restaurant will reopen later today or tomorrow (Friday).
Must be a lot of numpties eating KFC
on the island.
I suppose they will now be rushing to Maccy D’s
for McCrispys.
Surprised anyone can even afford it at those prices
Benefit Bums is my guess, what working person
can afford KFC
Get a good manager.
That’s called a crisis????
