KFC's parent company, Yum! Brands, announced plans to relocate about 100 employees from Louisville, Kentucky, to Plano, Texas, creating significant fallout from the decision. Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear and Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg expressed disappointment, citing the brand's strong ties to Kentucky's heritage. Yum! Brands stated that the move aims to enhance collaboration among its brands and facilitate sustainable growth. Despite the transition, the company will maintain corporate offices in Louisville, and the relocation includes the potential movement of additional remote staff over the coming months.
I am disappointed by this decision and believe the company's founder would be, too. This company's name starts with Kentucky, and it has marketed our state's heritage and culture in the sale of its product.
These changes position us for sustainable growth and will help us better serve our customers, employees, franchisees and shareholders.
The brand was born here and is synonymous with Kentucky.
Yum! Brands said its strategic decision would allow it to foster greater collaboration among brands and employees.
