Fast food restaurant chain KFC has expanded its Tower Burger range in the UK by adding three new variants, according to reports by Glasgow Live.

The new additions include the BBQ Fillet Tower Burger, the Zinger Supercharger Tower Burger and the Original Fillet Tower Burger.

According to the publication, each Tower Burger variant comes with hash browns, an original chicken fillet, cheese and a seeded bun.

Customers can purchase these burgers on their own or as part of a meal by adding fries and a drink.

The new Tower Burgers were added to the restaurant’s menu on 4 September and are available for purchase at KFC restaurants or through the KFC App for collection.

In February this year, the UK’s Tahir Group bought eight KFC restaurants in London from the Barack Group of Companies for an undisclosed sum.

With this acquisition, Tahir Group became the largest KFC operator in London. It now operates 41 KFC restaurants across London and the Midlands.

Tahir Group owner Fazan Tahir said: “Acquiring the Barack Group makes a lot of logistical sense for us, strengthening our London heartland.

“The Tahir team and I are delighted to welcome the Barack team on board and look forward to working with them; our ethos is to place people at the heart of everything we do.

“Our growth comes through achieving success together – by serving the communities we operate in through innovation, investing in people and delivering outstanding service to our customers.”
