McKinney, Texas – Kentucky Fried Chicken is bringing a fresh restaurant concept to the city this week. The fast‑food chain will open its “Open House” location on September 26 at a 3,400‑square‑foot space on El Dorado Parkway.
What the new concept offers
Open House is designed to serve both breakfast and late‑night diners. The menu expands the classic KFC lineup with additional chicken tenders, sandwiches and wings, plus a variety of sauces such as Kentucky BBQ, Buffalo, Ranch, Jalapeño Ranch, Sweet Heat Ranch and Garlic Parmesan.
New sides include mashed potatoes with gravy, biscuits, Southwest corn, fried green beans and spicy pickles. For a sweet finish, guests can choose chocolate cookies or the newly introduced cronuts.
Drink options feature traditional lemonades, boba‑style refreshers and the brand‑new Krunch shakes, giving customers a modern twist on familiar flavors.
Breakfast and seating
The breakfast menu adds Original Recipe tenders, breakfast sandwiches, hashbrowns, cronuts, coffee and iced lattes, catering to early‑morning commuters and families looking for a quick, hearty start.
Both indoor and outdoor seating are available, allowing patrons to enjoy the Texas weather while dining.
Company perspective
“Open House brings the Kentucky Fried Comeback to life in one restaurant,” said Catherine Tan‑Gillespie, President of KFC U.S. “We’re building on the craveable fried chicken and genuine hospitality people have always loved about KFC, while introducing new flavors, new experiences and more ways to enjoy the brand. It gives guests a reason to try us, or try us again, while giving us a real restaurant where we can learn what works for guests, our teams and the business, and scale the strongest ideas across the system.”
Local impact
The new location is expected to create jobs for McKinney residents and add another dining option for the growing community. With its blend of classic KFC favorites and innovative menu items, Open House aims to attract both longtime fans and newcomers seeking a family‑friendly spot.
