The American fast food franchise, Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC), has reportedly shut down its operations in Ho, the Volta Regional capital, just three years after it commenced operations in December 2021.
A notice posted at the premises, located at the Allied Oil Fuel station close to the Ho Central Market, claimed the company was “relocating to serve customers better”, but without stating the new location.
However, sources close to the matter revealed to VoltaOnline that the company had indeed folded up in town with the reason being low patronage and unsustainable operational costs.

VoltaOnline gathered local workers were notified earlier in the week before the closure and were given the option to relocate to a new branch in Techiman.
On Friday, January 24, a company truck arrived at the premises to move equipment and logistics, a source stated, marking the end of KFC’s operations in Ho.
The shutdown has sparked speculation among observers, with some attributing it to the entry of ChickenmanPizzaman, a similar business that opened two branches in Ho a few months ago.
Prior to its closure, the KFC branch in Ho faced financial difficulties, including a power disconnection by the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) in March 2023 over an unpaid debt of about GH¢68,000.
