KFC Knocknacarra open date nears closer as pictures show update
It will be the second KFC for Galway alongside the Briar Hill Shopping Centre store
Galway’s second KFC restaurant is getting closer and closer to opening as new photos show the latest update on the store.
The new Kentucky Fried Chicken franchise will open beside Costa Coffee at Gateway Retail Park in Knocknacarra.
The fast food chain is already advertising for several roles including ‘Assistant General Managers’ and ‘Shift Runners’ with an open date expected before the end of the year.
And it was KFC who was behind one of the most outrageous fashion statements at this year’s Galway Races.
From fried chicken to fashion statement, Limerick influencer Chloe Koyce showcased a bespoke KFC bucket-inspired handbag and fascinator.
KFC Ireland teamed up with acclaimed Irish designer Maya Grisham to reimagine its iconic bucket as a beautiful race-day fashion accessory, creating a one of a kind fascinator and matching KFC Bucket inspired handbag for the racing event.
Chloe Koyce and fashion stylist Emmanuel Agbons officially debuted the accessories trackside at Ballybrit Race Track on Tuesday.
Reinterpreting the bucket as a high-fashion accessory, the bespoke bag incorporates the distinctive shape, colours and unmistakable design elements for the race-day look.
Ladies' Day might not be until Thursday, but racegoers are getting a head start on the glam. Designed to turn heads, this unique accessory duo brought high-fashion energy trackside.
Racegoers at Ballybrit had the opportunity to see the bespoke designs throughout the opening day of the festival.
The bucket-inspired accessories also marked the countdown to the opening of KFC's new restaurant in Knocknacarra later this summer.
Casey Refault, a spokesperson for KFC Ireland, said: “Race week is famous for its fashion, individuality and creativity. We wanted to put our own spin on those traditions by asking Ireland’s very-own fashion house, Maya Grisham, to reinterpret the iconic KFC bucket as a race-day accessory. It's a celebration of Irish design, race-day style and, if you'll pardon the pun, buckets of fashion.”
