Lord Mayor Dennis Weilmann sees the project as a gain for the city's economic development and gastronomic diversity: "The establishment of KFC offers real added value for the people of Wolfsburg. With the new restaurant, we are not only expanding the gastronomic offering, but also creating additional jobs locally. I wish the construction work a successful outcome and look forward to the opening."
