There are 4 trains an hour to Shoppyland car park. 3 zone ticket.

Has anyone who lives in Geneva seen the KFC shop which is due to open next Tuesday? (5th December 2017)
I cannot find any adverts on Google - Grand openings, menus, prices or anything.
Perhaps they do not want too many customers until their staff get up to speed.
I went to Singen in Germany on their opening day and it was mayhem 😥

Think I will wait for a first hand report before making the trek with my GA from Brugg.

I think it is going to be in the small arcade under the Warwick hotel ie across from Cornavin CFF station. I was walking back up the rue des alpes towards the station when I saw the sign. (It was well hidden)

According to 20 Minutes (Fr) https://www.tdg.ch/economie/entrepri...story/11803903


It will be located at the "Centre Commerciale des Cygnes" next to Cornavin. as stated by bowlie


They hope to open a further 3 - 5 in 2018 with Lausanne being their next target. They hope to have 50+ chains "in the next few years"


Their main competitor will be MIGROS who have opened 13 Chickeria's across the Sarine...hence why they will try and establish themselves in Romandie firstly.


KFC chicken meat will come from Holland - Chickeria (MIGROS) will market their meat as Swiss as their selling point.




Happy St Andrew's day to all!

Yeah - This is old news. Just look a little bit further back in the thread. (was in all the newspapers on the 13th November)

I was looking for specific info on Geneva which is planned for opening on Tuesday.

Where did you get the information that it will open on Tuesday in the first place? I can't find anything about that either.
And isn't it rather unlikely for an American company to keep such a thing secret?

Look at the link on post 354 by marton. Also in 3 other newspapers like the Blick which I read.
Here is a quote
"Die Geflügelproduktion boomt, die Nachfrage nach Pouletfleisch ebenso. Immer beliebter wird Hühnchen auch im Fast-Food-Bereich: «Wir haben eine Menge Anfragen aus der Schweiz, wann KFC endlich in den Markt kommt», sagt Marco Schepers (42). Laut dem Schweiz-Chef von Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) ist es nun so weit.
Am 5. Dezember eröffnet in der Genfer Rue des Alpes im Centre Les Cygnes gegenüber dem Bahnhof Cornavin das erste Schnellrestaurant. Der KFC-Betreiber, eine Schweizer Firma, ist laut Schepers bereit, weitere Standorte in der Romandie zu eröffnen."
My left eye is still working :-)
Sorry - I should provide a translation
Poultry production is booming and demand for chicken is booming. Chicken is also becoming increasingly popular in the fast food sector: "We have a lot of inquiries from Switzerland about when KFC finally comes on the market," says Marco Schepers (42). According to the Swiss head of Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC), the time has now come.
On 5 December, the first fast-food restaurant will open on Geneva's Les Rue des Alpes at the Center Les Cygnes opposite the Cornavin train station. According to Schepers, the KFC operator, a Swiss company, is prepared to open further locations in the French-speaking part of Switzerland.

and KFC Suisse FB page states, and I quote...


"Aujourd'hui la situation du marché à changé et c'est avec un grand plaisir et honneur que KFC annonce son implantation en Suisse pour l'année 2016....

Toutes les informations officielles vous seront communiquées sur cette page."

"Today the market situation has changed and it is with great pleasure and honour that KFC announces its establishment in Switzerland for the year 2016 .... All official information will be provided on this page. "


False flag or simply shite marketing??

NOt really across the street more like kitty-corner. Not really convenient to grab something before your train. (And your train mates would probably shoot you.)

Hence my question.
I am wondering if they will open with a bang - or maybe cheap chicken and try and undercut Migros.
I have been following this story since 1998 in Switzerland, so I am more than a little bit interested.
My main question is - will they sell chicken gravy?

I see. So you need a Genevan to go check it out. There are enough of those on here. Folks, do the Argovian the favour?

Not being able to find anything about it, I think it's not happening

Thanks for all the lack of help.
Just finished my first 3 pieces of swiss kfc with chicken sauce in Switzerland.
Waited ages for this.
Took a chance this morning and got the train down via Aarau.
The kfc entrance is less than 80 metres from the front of the bahnhof. Next to the trams. Perfect location

Maybe we can close the thread now.
I did not get the menu. And it cost less than 12 chf for 3 breasts and sauce with no mashed potatoes. The extras look expensive.
Very efficient and well cooked. Delicious.
Do not queue. The ignorant gits here just barge in. After 30 minutes I decided to play their game.

A friend on mine passed by today and said it was packed. I will wait a week or so and then go i think. They better have hot wings!

Took 2 photos of the menu, but my camera is not the best and the attachment is too big for the new EF rules.
They do have hot wings.
3 Hot Wings 4.50 CHF
6 Hot Wings 8.90 CHF
16 Hot Wings 19.90 CHF
Original Chicken
1 piece 4.50
2 pieces 8-90
3 pieces 11.90
Crispys
3 with 1 dip 6.90
6 with 2 dips 11.90
10 with 3 dips 19.90

Gravy 0.80 CHF With mashed potatos 3.90 CHF
Zinger Burger 6.90
frites 2.90 big ones 3.90

Lots more if anyone interested.

Thank you! What about coleslow? And did you notice if they have a 9 piece hot wings meal?

Coleslaw is 3.90. They only had the hot wings in the numbers above
There is a hot wings box menu for 19.90 - I cannot read the details - but it looks like there are 9 bits on the photo

Fillet bites - 3 = 4.50 CHF 6 = 8.90 CHF (1 dip) 9 = 11.90 (2 dips) 16 = 19.90 (3 dips)
(looks like 3 is a bit dry)
Double Crunch Burger is 5.90 (0.80 extra for cheese)
Fillet Burger is 6.90 (same for cheese)
Zinger Burger 6.90 (same for cheese)
B.O.S.S Burger is 8.90 (same for cheese)
Mais is 2.90

Admittedly I am an atheist but if there were a god, he/she would ensure KFC would soon piggyback a Taco Bell...eventually

The official KFC Swiss website (only in French, German and Italian as usual)

<<Deswegen verwenden unsere KFC-Köche ausschließlich natürlich gewachsenes Hähnchenfleisch und feinstes Hähnchenbrustfilet>>
That means .... nothing really. Except the meat was on chicken bones at one time.

Did they show prices anywhere? I couldnt find any
