GREENUP, Ky. -- John Clark Oil Co. opened its seventh Krispy Krunchy Chicken outlet on May 24 in its Clark's Pump-N-Shop in Greenup, Ky., said Brian Unrue, director of operations for John Clark Oil. The Ashland, Ky.-based oil company has a total of 65 retail locations.
"By far the sales here have been way above our projections. The site used to host a KFC. The good news is there are Krispy Krunchy Barn Boxes leaving by the armload. As we continue to enter the fast-food side of things, we will continue to partner with the Krispy Krunchy brand."
He added, "We also have [image-nocss] one of our tankers totally wrapped in the Krispy Krunchy logo. This tanker travels the interstates of Kentucky, West Virginia and Ohio."
Jonesville, La.-based Krispy Krunchy Chicken is having a record-breaking year with 125 locations opened since the beginning of 2011, said the company, a leader in quick-serve restaurant (QSR) concepts with more than 600 retail locations in 14 states.

It offers a completely customized program with no franchisee or royalty fees, designed to give operators a professional and branded image with the ability to deliver quality food to their customers at a low price. The branded look includes a full graphics package, layout, design and scale drawings. The program may also be co-branded with another food program and use existing onsite equipment.
