Kyochon F&B decided to raise its fried chicken prices by up to 3,000 won ($2.30) from April 3, despite the government s request for restaurant chains to refrain from hiking prices further, in order to reduce the burden on low-income households. Due to the decision, consumers will need to pay nearly 30,000 won, if they want to get fried chicken delivered from Kyochon.
