Gauteng carries more KFC outlets than any other province — roughly a third of all South African stores. Coverage is dense across Johannesburg, Pretoria, Ekurhuleni and the Vaal, and this is where South Africa's KFC story began: the country's first store opened in Orange Grove, Johannesburg in 1971.
Most Gauteng stores offer drive-through and delivery via the KFC app, Mr D and Uber Eats. Trading hours cluster around 09:00–22:00, with 24-hour drive-throughs on major routes.
