Fox News reported that fast-food chain KFC is preparing to open two restaurants on ski slopes in Italy, a plan the report said has sparked a "fierce backlash".
According to the report, the restaurants will be on ski slopes in Cortina d'Ampezzo and Madonna di Campiglio. The summary says the chain is not welcome there as it prepares to open the two sites.
The headline of the Fox News item calls the slopes famed and says proud locals have revolted against the plan. The summary uses the word backlash rather than revolt, so the two descriptions of the local reaction differ in emphasis.
Neither the headline nor the summary gives an opening date for either restaurant. They also do not name the residents, officials or groups behind the opposition, describe the form that the opposition has taken, or include a response from KFC.
The Fox News item lists no author in its byline field. Its publication details show a date of November 13, 2026, and the URL places it in the outlet's food and drink section.
This account draws only on the headline, summary and publication details of the Fox News item. No other reporting on the plans has been reviewed for this story. Where the headline and summary differ, this story reports both descriptions as they appear in the Fox News item.
