KFC Canada launches Kwench beverage brand nationwide

KFC Canada announced the launch of Kwench, a new beverage brand, on July 27, 2026. The brand offers nine drinks across four categories – Krunch Shakes, Sparkling Lemonades, Boba Refreshers and Iced Lattes – and will be available in more than 170 locations by the end of the summer, expanding to 600 sites in 2027. KFC is investing about $30 million in the rollout, marking its first expansion beyond its core food menu in Canada. Ryan Koon, President and General Manager of KFC Canada, said Kwench represents a significant growth opportunity and reflects the company’s aim to meet the evolving preferences of next‑generation Canadians. The launch follows earlier Kwench introductions in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Australia.
