  • 'If There's Not One Near You Now, There Soon Will
    New Zealand Journal of History, 39, 1 (2005) ‘If there’s not one near you now, there soon will be’ AMERICAN FAST-FOOD CHAINS COME TO NEW ZEALAND* THE CURRENT (2004–2005) New Zealand television and billboard advertising campaign for Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) proclaims that its product is ‘Kiwi For Chicken’. Not only is the ‘fried’ aspect of its heritage elided, Kentucky has become New Zealand. Three decades after KFC’s arrival in New Zealand all that remains of its original marketing pitch is the chicken, flavoured with the ‘Colonel’s secret recipe’. Yet on Friday 20 August 1971, when KFC officially opened its first branch at the Manukau Road exit from the Royal Oak roundabout in Auckland — thus offering New Zealanders their first local taste of branded American fast food — the Americanness of the chicken was to the fore. Full-page advertisements in the Auckland Star (Figure 1) promoted the store’s opening with a large photograph of the company’s founder, Colonel Harland B. Sanders, and promises of free balloons for children. Live music from the Southern Bend Blue Grass Band accompanied the festivities.1 By the early twenty-first century, however, American fast food in New Zealand is so commonplace that we rarely notice it at all; ‘Kiwi For Chicken’ hardly raises an eyebrow. New Zealanders, of course, enjoyed take-away food prior to the arrival of KFC. Fish and hot chips, meat pies and sandwiches from New Zealand Railways were staples of the local eating experience. Moreover, American influence on food and drink consumption in New Zealand had a history prior to the 1970s.
