KFC is aiming to open dozens of new outlets in Sussex by the end of 2020.
It is understood the chain is offering incentives of £20,000 to people who find a new site in their target areas.
Among the target areas is Brighton, Horsham and Lewes.
A spokesman for the company said: "We have bold ambitions to have over 1,000 stores in the UK and Ireland by 2020.
"We are looking to build over 50 new stores a year."
KFC was first introduced to the UK in 1965 with its first branch in Preston, but today it operates 850 outlets in the country.
There are several branches in Sussex.
