Sanders held a number of jobs in his early life, such as steam engine stoker, insurance salesman, and filling station operator. He began selling fried chicken from his roadside restaurant in North Corbin, Kentucky, during the Great Depression. During that time, Sanders developed his "secret recipe" and his patented method of cooking chicken in a pressure fryer. Sanders recognized the potential of the restaurant franchising concept, and the first KFC franchise opened in South Salt Lake, Utah, in 1952. When his original restaurant closed, he devoted himself full-time to franchising his fried chicken throughout the country.The most expensive item with a signature of Harland Sanders (Colonel Harland Sanders (KFC) ~ Signed Autographed 8 x 10 Photograph ~ JSA LOA) was sold in March 2023 for $1395.00 while the cheapest item (Finger Lickin' Good Colonel Harland Sanders Autographed Book) found a new owner for $4.99 in November 2011.
