Miss Millie's is a British fried chicken restaurant chain established in 1988[5][6] in Bristol, England. The brand was founded by Harry Latham and his daughters—Ann, Sheila, Kerry, following an earlier collaboration with Colonel Sanders,[7] the founder of KFC. The name "Miss Millie's" honours Colonel Sanders' daughter, Mildred.[8]

History

[edit]

Miss Millie's history dates back to 1965 when the first KFC store was established in Preston, Lancashire.[9][10] The venture, associated with Colonel Sanders, was led by Harry Latham and Ray Allen,[11] and contributed to the introduction of Kentucky-style fried chicken in the UK.[12][13]

Miss Millie's Fried Chicken Limited was originally incorporated on July 1, 1963, under the name "Finger Lickin' Chicken Limited", before rebranding to "Miss Millie's Fried Chicken Limited" on August 24, 1990.[14] The company signed a franchise partnership agreement with MFG in 2023.[15][16]

Harry Latham retired in 1993, leaving the chain to his daughters, Anne Walker, Sheila, Wilson, Kerry Balding, Kate Ostrowski,[17][18] who took over running Miss Millie's until it was sold to a NewCo in 2018.[19][20]

Latham formally resigned as company director on 31st December, 2006[21] and passed away on 23rd May 2019.[22]
