The activation will run for 11 days – in honour of the brand's 11 Herbs and Spices secret recipe – from 18 to 28 May, and will once again offer a new limited-edition menu and branded gear, customisation stations and unique KFC experiences and competitions.
The Kentucky Town Pretoria pop-up introduces a host of new limited-edition menu items such as the Pretoria-inspired Kentucky Sphathlo, Dunked Pops Cones, Churro Cones, KFC sliders, and a La Litchi Boba Sparkling Krusher. The menu also features a selection of the most popular limited-edition items from previous Kentucky Towns, such as the Doughnut Zinger Burger, Ghost Pepper Dunked Wings, The Blaze Burger, KFC Chachos and Kentucky Fried Oreos.

The pop-up will also be selling a limited number of KFC’s famous 'Zinger Sauce', 'Dunked Sauce' and the ‘Colonel’s Sauce’ so guests can take their favourite KFC sauces home with them.
Uncle Waffles collab
Kentucky Town Pretoria will also be celebrating KFC’s latest collab with SA’s amapiano sensation, Uncle Waffles. This partnership sees the introduction of the limited-edition Uncle Waffles Burger onto the menu - a crispy KFC fillet coated in KFC’s secret 11 herbs and spices, dunked in maple chipotle sauce and served between two warm waffles.
Who said two GOATS couldn’t coexist???
