TAUNTON's KFC store is still open despite a number of stores closing across the county after running out of chicken.
It is rumoured KFC stores in Yeovil, Bridgwater, Wincanton and Glastonbury have been forced to close after a hiccup with deliveries meant the stores ran out of chicken.
But the Taunton branch is one of the last in the county to remain open and staff say they have enough chicken to feed hungry customers throughout the day.
Unfortunately, the store has run out of corn on the cob and tea and coffee but customers will still be able to buy items from the rest of the menu.
KFC restaurants in Plymouth, Devon and Manchester have also been forced to close and fans of the fried chicken have been sharing their disappointment on Twitter.
My brother is literally having a meltdown that KFC is closed and is putting the blame on my mum😂
