KFC failed in Israel as the recipe without dairy didn't pan out and the franchise holders didn't want to run a non-Kosher restaurant while McDonalnd's didn't care.
KFC is hugely popular in the Arab world in general but fried chicken never really became popular in Israel with or without buttermilk.
Starbucks also failed in Israel since apparently the locals being used to actual coffee didn't not accept what they sold as coffee while "high-end" Israeli coffee chains like Aroma Coffee became hugely successful in Israel and expanded abroad.
- compsciphd 8y agoI remember in the late 90s going to the KFC in the Ben Yehuda pedestrian mall section of Jerusalem. It was cute, but I didn't find it to be particularly special. perhaps now I understand why.
