Kentucky Fried Chicken is eyeing new locations throughout the country, and Dorset looks set to have more finger-lickin' goodness.

With brand-new restaurants being earmarked, areas in and around Bournemouth look set to see the arrival of new locations.

Where are new KFC locations set to open across Dorset?

Three new locations have been set out by the fast food giant, eager for a major UK expansion.

According to the KFC website, these "Locations are all of the spots across the UK & Ireland that we're looking to open restaurants."

The company also encourages people to contact its regional leads to suggest new locations not listed by the chicken eatery, saying: "Have an opportunity in mind that's not on the list? We're still interested, simply contact the team and we'll take it from there. Want to review all targets locations? The link below has a consolidated list of live targets."

Here are the three Dorset locations listed by KFC for new branches:

  • Parkstone

This spot is set to be a relocation opportunity and is planned to contain a drive-thru.

  • Upton

This spot is a totally new location and is meant to have a drive-thru as well.

  • Winton

Winton is another area looking set for a future KFC and is a relocation spot.
