KINGSTON, Jamaica — Customers across the island flocked to several KFC locations as early as 5:00 am before their 10:00 am opening hours to take advantage of the 50th anniversary deal on Wednesday morning.

In celebration of their anniversary, customers who purchase a big deal will get a meal deal free. However, only five meal deals are allowed per customer.

Several individuals have already gathered at the KFC outlet at Howard Cooke Boulevard in Montego Bay.

Individuals standing at the gate and those in cars waited patiently for the expected 10:00 am opening.
