KFC Israel's franchisee, Smart Service K & K, has applied for insolvency proceedings due to approximately NIS 50 million in debts, blaming the October 7 attacks and subsequent security events for a sharp drop in revenue. The company, which operates 12 branches, seeks court protection to continue operating under a trustee while exploring rehabilitation. This follows a period of financial difficulty and previous branch closures, with further operational reductions being considered.
