TAMPA BAY, FL — Two new Saucy! by KFC locations are scheduled to open in the Tampa Bay area next week, with one site set for Bradenton and the other for Trinity.
The Bradenton location, at 5484 Lena Road, is scheduled to open Monday, while the Trinity restaurant at 3154 Disciple Lane will open on Tuesday, the company said in a news release. Both grand opening events will start at 11 a.m.
These eateries will be the fifth and sixth in the region, respectively.
The growth reflects continued expansion in Tampa Bay, which the brand identified as one of its fastest-growing Florida markets, the company said.
The Saucy! by KFC concept centers on chicken tenders and a wide range of sauces, with customers able to customize meals in different ways.
Guests can “dip, stack, wrap or remix” flavors at the restaurants, the brand said.
Both grand openings will include giveaways and complimentary bites while supplies last.
The events are also expected to introduce two product launches.
One is a Saucy! x DRIPS by Pepsi collaboration featuring four exclusive drinks described by the brand as “mood-inspired.”
The other is the Big Sammie, made in partnership with King’s Hawaiian.
The sandwich includes “two crispy, golden chicken tendies stacked between a soft, slightly sweet King’s Hawaiian bun with crunchy greens, crispy hashbrown straws, drizzled with your choice of a signature Saucy! sauce to finish it off,” the news release said.
