A number of branches of KFC have been forced to close after a new delivery contract resulted in chicken shortages across the country.
The branch in Widnes remains shut today, Monday, as of 1.30pm.
But the Runcorn store is open.
A list of stores which are open is being regularly updated here.
Many customers took to Twitter at the weekend to voice their frustrations.
@KFC_UKI_Help absolutely ridiculous in Widnes kfc! Had people waiting at drive thru with no one coming through speaker, driven round to pick up window and all the staff were completely ignoring cars as they were too busy dancing with the music blasting inside! Once I banged 1/2

The company said that of those outlets that were still open, many were offering a limited menu or had cut their hours.
It gave no notice of when operations would be back to normal.
"We've brought a new delivery partner onboard, but they've had a couple of teething problems - getting fresh chicken out to 900 restaurants across the country is pretty complex!" KFC said in a statement.
"We won't compromise on quality, so no deliveries has meant some of our restaurants are closed and others are operating a limited menu, or shortened hours," the company added.
"We know that this might have inconvenienced some of you over the last few days, and disappointed you when you wanted your fried chicken fix - we're really sorry about that."
KFC was previously a client of Bidvest Logistics but has since swapped contract to enlist DHL for food deliveries.
The chicken chain gave a 'shout out' to its restaurant teams, who the company said were 'working flat out to get us back up and running again'.
In its own statement, DHL said: "Due to operational issues a number of deliveries in recent days have been incomplete or delayed.
"We are working with KFC and our partners to rectify the situation as a priority and apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused."
