Brands, Inc.\n(sometimes called just\nYum!\n) is an American multinational fast food corporation. Based in\nLouisville, Kentucky\n, the company operates\nKFC\n,\nPizza Hut\n,\nTaco Bell\n,\nHabit Burger & Grill\n, and several technology companies. Yum! is one of the world's largest\nfast food restaurant\ncompanies in terms of system units. In 2016, Yum! had 43,617 restaurants, including 2,859 that were company-owned and 40,758 that were franchised, in 135 nations and territories worldwide.\n[\n3\n]\nYum! was formed as\nTricon Global Restaurants\nin 1997 as a\nspin-off\nof\nPepsiCo\n. The spin-off consists of PepsiCo's former fast food restaurant division, which was originally established after PepsiCo first entered the restaurant business when it acquired Pizza Hut in 1977. Yum! took its current name in 2002 after merging with Yorkshire Global Restaurants, which at the time was the parent company of A&W, which also spun off\nan international branch\n. In China, the restaurant brands are operated by a company known as\nYum China\n. One of the conditions of Yum! being a spin-off of PepsiCo is that the company has a perpetual agreement to serve\nPepsi\ninstead of\nCoca-Cola\nas a soft drink in all its restaurants (except in certain markets such as\nIsrael\nand\nNew Zealand\n).\n[\ncitation needed\n]\nIn January 2026, Yum! Brands announced it had signed a 10-year lease in the\nPNC Tower\nin\ndowntown Louisville\nfor its new headquarters, with plans to invest $12 million to renovate five floors. The company plans to move 550 employees to its new headquarters in late 2026.\n[\n4\n]\n[\n5\n]\nPepsiCo fast food division\n[\nedit\n]\nThe company's history began in 1977, when\nPepsiCo\nentered the restaurant business by acquiring\nPizza Hut\nfrom co-founders\nDan and Frank Carney\n. A year later, PepsiCo purchased Taco Bell from founder\nGlen Bell\n.\n[\n6\n]\nIn July 1986,\nR. J. Reynolds\nsold\nKFC\nto PepsiCo\n[\n6\n]\nto pay off debt from its recent purchase of\nNabisco\n.\nIn 1990,\nHot 'n Now\nwas acquired via Taco Bell from William Van Domelen,\n[\n7\n]\nbut the company was sold in 1996.\n[\n8\n]\nIn 1992, PepsiCo acquired\nCalifornia Pizza Kitchen\n. In 1993, it acquired\nChevys Fresh Mex\n,\n[\n9\n]\nD'Angelo Grilled Sandwiches\n,\n[\n10\n]\nand the American division of Canadian chain\nEast Side Mario's\n. These chains were later sold when PepsiCo exited the restaurant business and spun off KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell (see next paragraph).\n[\n11\n]\n[\n12\n]\n[\n13\n]\nIn 1997, PepsiCo sold PepsiCo Food Systems restaurant-supply unit to Ameriserve Food Distribution Inc.\n[\n14\n]\nTricon Global Restaurants\n[\nedit\n]\nLogo of Tricon\nYum! was created in 1997 as Tricon Global Restaurants, Inc. from\nPepsiCo\n's fast food division as the parent corporation of the KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell restaurant companies.\n[\n15\n]\n[\n16\n]\nThe decision was announced in January and the\nspin off\nwas effected on October 6.\n[\n17\n]\nBefore the Tricon name was introduced in June 1997,\n[\n18\n]\nthe company was referred to by the placeholder name \"Great American Restaurant Company\".\n[\n19\n]\nTricon selected Louisville, also the site of KFC's headquarters, as its corporate headquarters.\n[\n16\n]\nTaco Bell and Pizza Hut continued to be headquartered in\nIrvine, California\nand\nDallas\n, Texas, respectively.\n[\n16\n]\nIn 2000, Tricon Global tested multi-branded locations with Yorkshire Global Restaurants, parent company of A&W and Long John Silver's. By March 2002, the Tricon-Yorkshire multibranding test consisted of 83 KFC\/A&Ws, six KFC\/Long John Silver's and three Taco Bell\/Long John Silver's and was considered successful by the companies.\n[\n20\n]\nIn 2001, KFC started test restaurants in Austin, Texas, called \"Wing Works\", a chicken wing line sold with one of a few flavored sauces. KFC also hired a consultant to develop a breakfast menu.\n[\n21\n]\nTricon bought both A&W and LJS from Grotech in March 2002, shortly before the merger announcement.\n[\n22\n]\nIn March 2002, Yorkshire announced it would merge with Tricon Global Restaurants to form Yum! Brands.\n[\n23\n]\nThe merger was finalized on May 8, 2002, and the name change became effective on May 22, 2002.\n[\n24\n]\nTricon had previously used \"YUM\", an exclamation representing enjoyment of food, as its\nstock ticker symbol\nsince it was spun off in 1997.\n[\n25\n]\nOn June 6, 2002, Yum! executed a two-for-one\nstock split\n.\n[\n26\n]\nShortly afterwards, due to Yum!'s lifetime contract with Pepsi, Long John Silver's and A&W Restaurants (which previously served Coca-Cola products) began switching to Pepsi products, with A&W Restaurants retaining\nA&W Root Beer\nfrom a separate deal with\nDr Pepper\/Seven Up\n(now\nKeurig Dr Pepper\n).\n[\ncitation needed\n]\nIn 2002, Yum! began testing co-branding locations pairing Pizza Hut with\nPasta Bravo\n,\nBack Yard Burgers\n, and A&W.\n[\n27\n]\nThe Pasta Bravo concept was acquired in 2003 from Pasta Bravo, Inc. of Aliso Viejo, California for $5 million to pair with Pizza Hut.\n[\n28\n]\nIn 2003, Yum! launched WingStreet as a hybrid combo unit with an existing Pizza Hut franchise.\n[\n29\n]\nIn 2007 and 2008, a thousand WingStreet stores a year were opened. On October 19, 2009, Company president Scott Bergren publicized WingStreet's national launch.\n[\n29\n]\nAn\nEast Dawning\ntest\ncafeteria-style restaurant\nwas opened in Shanghai in 2004. After initially failing, Yum! Brands chose the KFC business model (KFC is the most successful Western chain in China) and found greater success.\n[\n30\n]\nAs of September 30, 2007, eight East Dawning restaurants were in operation.\n[\n31\n]\nInternational focus\n[\nedit\n]\nA single Yum! restaurant facility co-branded as Taco Bell and KFC in San Francisco, California\nAnother cobranded KFC and Taco Bell in\nOscoda, Michigan\nCobranded KFC and Pizza Hut in\nChiefland, Florida\nIn January 2011, Yum! announced its intentions to dispose of its Long John Silver's and A&W brands to focus on its core brands of KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell. For the decade leading up to the company's announcement, major growth had relied on international expansion. With little presence outside North America, the two chains no longer fit in the company's long-term growth plans.\n[\n32\n]\nThe foreign expansion—particularly that of Taco Bell, KFC and Pizza Hut—was cited in the firm's January 18, 2011, announcement of its intention to dispose of the A&W and Long John Silver's chains. Both of those chains also suffered from poor sales, and had fewer locations compared to the other chains in the Yum! Brands portfolio. In September 2011, Yum! announced they had found buyers for the A&W and Long John Silver's chains. A Great American Brand bought A&W, and Long John Silver's was sold to LJS Partners LLC.\n[\n33\n]\nIn May 2011, Yum! agreed to purchase Chinese\nhot pot\nchain\nLittle Sheep\nfor\nHK$\n4.56 billion.\n[\n34\n]\nThe deal spent more than 4 months in antitrust review by the Chinese Ministry of Commerce, to determine whether or not the transaction would result in a monopolistic positioning of Yum! in the country's restaurant industry. The Ministry approved the deal in November 2011, according to Little Sheep representatives.\n[\n35\n]\nIn 2012, a KFC opened in\nRamallah\nand became the first American fast food restaurant to operate in the\nWest Bank\n; a Pizza Hut was also planned.\n[\n36\n]\nIn India, Thailand, Nepal, and Nigeria, Yum! Brands operates primarily through its largest franchise partner,\nDevyani International Limited\n, which manages numerous KFC, Pizza Hut, and Taco Bell outlets.\n[\n37\n]\n[\n38\n]\nYum! Brands opened its 40,000th store in\nCalangute, Goa\n, India in October 2013.\n[\n39\n]\nIn the third quarter of 2013, Yum! Brands had to book an impairment of the goodwill resulting from the takeover of Little Sheep in 2011 in the amount of $222 million, which reduced profits for 2013.\n[\n40\n]\nIn 2014, Yum! launched a number of additional restaurant test concepts, Super Chix, U.S. Taco Co. and Banh Shop.\n[\n41\n]\nYum! opened Super Chix in Central Arlington, Texas, a restaurant similar in format to\nChick-fil-A\n, on April 9, 2014.\n[\n42\n]\nIn the summer of 2014, Yum!'s Taco Bell subsidiary launched its U.S. Taco Co and Urban Tap Room fast-casual taco concept restaurant in Huntington Beach, California, to take on fast casual restaurants like\nChipotle\nand\nPanera\n.\n[\n43\n]\nIn the first quarter of 2015,\nThird Point Management\nand Corvex Management separately acquired an unspecified stake in the company.\n[\n44\n]\nA second Chix unit opened in May 2015 with additional menu items. Super Chix was sold to founder Nick Ouimet and an investment group in August 2015.\n[\n41\n]\nIn 2017, Yum! announced plans to open 10 Pizza Hut restaurants in Ethiopia, after signing a franchise with the country's Belayab Foods and Franchise PLC.\n[\n45\n]\nIn January 2020, Yum! announced they were acquiring Irvine, California-based\nThe Habit Burger Grill\n, for $375 million; the transaction was completed on March 18, 2020.\n[\n46\n]\n[\n47\n]\nThe company was renamed Habit Burger & Grill in 2024.\n[\ncitation needed\n]\nIn 2020 and 2021, Yum! acquired several technology companies. In March 2020, it acquired Heartstyles, an omnichannel training company.\n[\n48\n]\nIn March 2021, it acquired Tictuk Technologies, an Israeli omnichannel ordering and marketing solutions provider,\n[\n49\n]\nand announced it was acquiring Kvantum Inc., an artificial intelligence-based consumer insights and marketing technology company.\n[\n50\n]\nIn September 2021, Yum! completed the acquisition of Australian kitchen order management and delivery technology company Dragontail Systems for US$69.1 million in cash.\n[\n51\n]\nIn December 2023, the company announced it will acquire 218 restaurants from its largest franchisee EG Group in the UK and Ireland. After completion in 2024, all of the privately owned EG Group's KFC UK and Ireland businesses will come under Yum's KFC UK and Ireland management.\n[\n52\n]\nIn 2021, Yum!

Brands, Inc.** (sometimes called just **Yum\\!**) is an American multinational fast food corporation. Based in [Louisville, Kentucky](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Louisville,_Kentucky \"Louisville, Kentucky\"), the company operates [KFC](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/KFC \"KFC\"), [Pizza Hut](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pizza_Hut \"Pizza Hut\"), [Taco Bell](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Taco_Bell \"Taco Bell\"), [Habit Burger & Grill](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Habit_Burger_%26_Grill \"Habit Burger & Grill\"), and several technology companies. Yum! is one of the world's largest [fast food restaurant](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fast_food_restaurant \"Fast food restaurant\") companies in terms of system units. In 2016, Yum! had 43,617 restaurants, including 2,859 that were company-owned and 40,758 that were franchised, in 135 nations and territories worldwide.[\\[3\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Yum!_Brands#cite_note-Yum!-Brands-AR2015-3)\n\nYum! was formed as **Tricon Global Restaurants** in 1997 as a [spin-off](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Corporate_spin-off \"Corporate spin-off\") of [PepsiCo](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/PepsiCo \"PepsiCo\"). The spin-off consists of PepsiCo's former fast food restaurant division, which was originally established after PepsiCo first entered the restaurant business when it acquired Pizza Hut in 1977. Yum! took its current name in 2002 after merging with Yorkshire Global Restaurants, which at the time was the parent company of A\\&W, which also spun off [an international branch](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/A%26W_\$Canada\$ \"A&W (Canada)\"). In China, the restaurant brands are operated by a company known as [Yum China](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Yum_China \"Yum China\"). One of the conditions of Yum! being a spin-off of PepsiCo is that the company has a perpetual agreement to serve [Pepsi](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pepsi \"Pepsi\") instead of [Coca-Cola](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Coca-Cola \"Coca-Cola\") as a soft drink in all its restaurants (except in certain markets such as [Israel](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Israel \"Israel\") and [New Zealand](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/New_Zealand \"New Zealand\")).\\[*[citation needed](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wikipedia:Citation_needed \"Wikipedia:Citation needed\")*\\]\n\nIn January 2026, Yum!

Both of those chains also suffered from poor sales, and had fewer locations compared to the other chains in the Yum! Brands portfolio. In September 2011, Yum! announced they had found buyers for the A\\&W and Long John Silver's chains.

Brands, Inc.** (sometimes called just **Yum\\!**) is an American multinational fast food corporation. Based in [Louisville, Kentucky](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Louisville,_Kentucky \"Louisville, Kentucky\"), the company operates [KFC](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/KFC \"KFC\"), [Pizza Hut](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pizza_Hut \"Pizza Hut\"), [Taco Bell](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Taco_Bell \"Taco Bell\"), [Habit Burger & Grill](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Habit_Burger_%26_Grill \"Habit Burger & Grill\"), and several technology companies. Yum! is one of the world's largest [fast food restaurant](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fast_food_restaurant \"Fast food restaurant\") companies in terms of system units. In 2016, Yum! had 43,617 restaurants, including 2,859 that were company-owned and 40,758 that were franchised, in 135 nations and territories worldwide.[\\[3\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Yum!_Brands#cite_note-Yum!-Brands-AR2015-3)\n\nYum! was formed as **Tricon Global Restaurants** in 1997 as a [spin-off](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Corporate_spin-off \"Corporate spin-off\") of [PepsiCo](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/PepsiCo \"PepsiCo\"). The spin-off consists of PepsiCo's former fast food restaurant division, which was originally established after PepsiCo first entered the restaurant business when it acquired Pizza Hut in 1977. Yum! took its current name in 2002 after merging with Yorkshire Global Restaurants, which at the time was the parent company of A\\&W, which also spun off [an international branch](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/A%26W_\$Canada\$ \"A&W (Canada)\"). In China, the restaurant brands are operated by a company known as [Yum China](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Yum_China \"Yum China\"). One of the conditions of Yum! being a spin-off of PepsiCo is that the company has a perpetual agreement to serve [Pepsi](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pepsi \"Pepsi\") instead of [Coca-Cola](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Coca-Cola \"Coca-Cola\") as a soft drink in all its restaurants (except in certain markets such as [Israel](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Israel \"Israel\") and [New Zealand](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/New_Zealand \"New Zealand\")).\\[*[citation needed](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wikipedia:Citation_needed \"Wikipedia:Citation needed\")*\\]\n\nIn January 2026, Yum!

For the decade leading up to the company's announcement, major growth had relied on international expansion. With little presence outside North America, the two chains no longer fit in the company's long-term growth plans.[\\[32\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Yum!_Brands#cite_note-32) The foreign expansion—particularly that of Taco Bell, KFC and Pizza Hut—was cited in the firm's January 18, 2011, announcement of its intention to dispose of the A\\&W and Long John Silver's chains. Both of those chains also suffered from poor sales, and had fewer locations compared to the other chains in the Yum! Brands portfolio. In September 2011, Yum! announced they had found buyers for the A\\&W and Long John Silver's chains. A Great American Brand bought A\\&W, and Long John Silver's was sold to LJS Partners LLC.[\\[33\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Yum!_Brands#cite_note-sale-33)\n\nIn May 2011, Yum! agreed to purchase Chinese [hot pot](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hot_pot \"Hot pot\") chain [Little Sheep](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Little_Sheep \"Little Sheep\") for [HK\\$](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/HK$ \"HK$\")4\\.56 billion.[\\[34\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Yum!_Brands#cite_note-34) The deal spent more than 4 months in antitrust review by the Chinese Ministry of Commerce, to determine whether or not the transaction would result in a monopolistic positioning of Yum! in the country's restaurant industry. The Ministry approved the deal in November 2011, according to Little Sheep representatives.[\\[35\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Yum!_Brands#cite_note-cp-35)\n\nIn 2012, a KFC opened in [Ramallah](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ramallah \"Ramallah\") and became the first American fast food restaurant to operate in the [West Bank](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/West_Bank \"West Bank\"); a Pizza Hut was also planned.[\\[36\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Yum!_Brands#cite_note-36)\n\nIn India, Thailand, Nepal, and Nigeria, Yum!

(Including subsidiaries and franchises) [ 2 ] Subsidiaries KFC Pizza Hut Taco Bell Habit Burger & Grill Heartstyles Tictuk Technologies Kvantum Dragontail Systems Website yum .com Yum! Brands, Inc. (sometimes called just Yum! ) is an American multinational fast food corporation. Based in Louisville, Kentucky , the company operates KFC , Pizza Hut , Taco Bell , Habit Burger & Grill , and several technology companies. Yum! is one of the world's largest fast food restaurant companies in terms of system units. In 2016, Yum! had 43,617 restaurants, including 2,859 that were company-owned and 40,758 that were franchised, in 135 nations and territories worldwide. [ 3 ] Yum! was formed as Tricon Global Restaurants in 1997 as a spin-off of PepsiCo . The spin-off consists of PepsiCo's former fast food restaurant division, which was originally established after PepsiCo first entered the restaurant business when it acquired Pizza Hut in 1977. Yum! took its current name in 2002 after merging with Yorkshire Global Restaurants, which at the time was the parent company of A&W, which also spun off an international branch . In China, the restaurant brands are operated by a company known as Yum China . One of the conditions of Yum! being a spin-off of PepsiCo is that the company has a perpetual agreement to serve Pepsi instead of Coca-Cola as a soft drink in all its restaurants (except in certain markets such as Israel and New Zealand ). [ citation needed ] In January 2026, Yum! Brands announced it had signed a 10-year lease in the PNC Tower in downtown Louisville for its new headquarters, with plans to invest $12 million to renovate five floors. The company plans to move 550 employees to its new headquarters in late 2026. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] PepsiCo fast food division [ edit ] The company's history began in 1977, when PepsiCo entered the restaurant business by acquiring Pizza Hut from co-founders Dan and Frank Carney . A year later, PepsiCo purchased Taco Bell from founder Glen Bell . [ 6 ] In July 1986, R. J. Reynolds sold KFC to PepsiCo [ 6 ] to pay off debt from its recent purchase of Nabisco . In 1990, Hot 'n Now was acquired via Taco Bell from William Van Domelen, [ 7 ] but the company was sold in 1996. [ 8 ] In 1992, PepsiCo acquired California Pizza Kitchen . In 1993, it acquired Chevys Fresh Mex , [ 9 ] D'Angelo Grilled Sandwiches , [ 10 ] and the American division of Canadian chain East Side Mario's . These chains were later sold when PepsiCo exited the restaurant business and spun off KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell (see next paragraph). [ 11 ] [ 12 ] [ 13 ] In 1997, PepsiCo sold PepsiCo Food Systems restaurant-supply unit to Ameriserve Food Distribution Inc. [ 14 ] Tricon Global Restaurants [ edit ] Logo of Tricon Yum! was created in 1997 as Tricon Global Restaurants, Inc. from PepsiCo 's fast food division as the parent corporation of the KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell restaurant companies. [ 15 ] [ 16 ] The decision was announced in January and the spin off was effected on October 6. [ 17 ] Before the Tricon name was introduced in June 1997, [ 18 ] the company was referred to by the placeholder name "Great American Restaurant Company". [ 19 ] Tricon selected Louisville, also the site of KFC's headquarters, as its corporate headquarters. [ 16 ] Taco Bell and Pizza Hut continued to be headquartered in Irvine, California and Dallas , Texas, respectively. [ 16 ] In 2000, Tricon Global tested multi-branded locations with Yorkshire Global Restaurants, parent company of A&W and Long John Silver's. By March 2002, the Tricon-Yorkshire multibranding test consisted of 83 KFC/A&Ws, six KFC/Long John Silver's and three Taco Bell/Long John Silver's and was considered successful by the companies. [ 20 ] In 2001, KFC started test restaurants in Austin, Texas, called "Wing Works", a chicken wing line sold with one of a few flavored sauces. KFC also hired a consultant to develop a breakfast menu. [ 21 ] Tricon bought both A&W and LJS from Grotech in March 2002, shortly before the merger announcement. [ 22 ] In March 2002, Yorkshire announced it would merge with Tricon Global Restaurants to form Yum! Brands. [ 23 ] The merger was finalized on May 8, 2002, and the name change became effective on May 22, 2002. [ 24 ] Tricon had previously used "YUM", an exclamation representing enjoyment of food, as its stock ticker symbol since it was spun off in 1997. [ 25 ] On June 6, 2002, Yum! executed a two-for-one stock split . [ 26 ] Shortly afterwards, due to Yum!'s lifetime contract with Pepsi, Long John Silver's and A&W Restaurants (which previously served Coca-Cola products) began switching to Pepsi products, with A&W Restaurants retaining A&W Root Beer from a separate deal with Dr Pepper/Seven Up (now Keurig Dr Pepper ). [ citation needed ] In 2002, Yum! began testing co-branding locations pairing Pizza Hut with Pasta Bravo , Back Yard Burgers , and A&W. [ 27 ] The Pasta Bravo concept was acquired in 2003 from Pasta Bravo, Inc. of Aliso Viejo, California for $5 million to pair with Pizza Hut. [ 28 ] In 2003, Yum! launched WingStreet as a hybrid combo unit with an existing Pizza Hut franchise. [ 29 ] In 2007 and 2008, a thousand WingStreet stores a year were opened. On October 19, 2009, Company president Scott Bergren publicized WingStreet's national launch. [ 29 ] An East Dawning test cafeteria-style restaurant was opened in Shanghai in 2004. After initially failing, Yum! Brands chose the KFC business model (KFC is the most successful Western chain in China) and found greater success. [ 30 ] As of September 30, 2007, eight East Dawning restaurants were in operation. [ 31 ] International focus [ edit ] A single Yum! restaurant facility co-branded as Taco Bell and KFC in San Francisco, California Another cobranded KFC and Taco Bell in Oscoda, Michigan Cobranded KFC and Pizza Hut in Chiefland, Florida In January 2011, Yum! announced its intentions to dispose of its Long John Silver's and A&W brands to focus on its core brands of KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell. For the decade leading up to the company's announcement, major growth had relied on international expansion. With little presence outside North America, the two chains no longer fit in the company's long-term growth plans. [ 32 ] The foreign expansion—particularly that of Taco Bell, KFC and Pizza Hut—was cited in the firm's January 18, 2011, announcement of its intention to dispose of the A&W and Long John Silver's chains. Both of those chains also suffered from poor sales, and had fewer locations compared to the other chains in the Yum! Brands portfolio. In September 2011, Yum! announced they had found buyers for the A&W and Long John Silver's chains. A Great American Brand bought A&W, and Long John Silver's was sold to LJS Partners LLC. [ 33 ] In May 2011, Yum! agreed to purchase Chinese hot pot chain Little Sheep for HK$ 4.56 billion. [ 34 ] The deal spent more than 4 months in antitrust review by the Chinese Ministry of Commerce, to determine whether or not the transaction would result in a monopolistic positioning of Yum! in the country's restaurant industry. The Ministry approved the deal in November 2011, according to Little Sheep representatives. [ 35 ] In 2012, a KFC opened in Ramallah and became the first American fast food restaurant to operate in the West Bank ; a Pizza Hut was also planned. [ 36 ] In India, Thailand, Nepal, and Nigeria, Yum! Brands operates primarily through its largest franchise partner, Devyani International Limited , which manages numerous KFC, Pizza Hut, and Taco Bell outlets. [ 37 ] [ 38 ] Yum! Brands opened its 40,000th store in Calangute, Goa , India in October 2013. [ 39 ] In the third quarter of 2013, Yum! Brands had to book an impairment of the goodwill resulting from the takeover of Little Sheep in 2011 in the amount of $222 million, which reduced profits for 2013. [ 40 ] In 2014, Yum! launched a number of additional restaurant test concepts, Super Chix, U.S. Taco Co. and Banh Shop. [ 41 ] Yum! opened Super Chix in Central Arlington, Texas, a restaurant similar in format to Chick-fil-A , on April 9, 2014. [ 42 ] In the summer of 2014, Yum!'s Taco Bell subsidiary launched its U.S. Taco Co and Urban Tap Room fast-casual taco concept restaurant in Huntington Beach, California, to take on fast casual restaurants like Chipotle and Panera . [ 43 ] In the first quarter of 2015, Third Point Management and Corvex Management separately acquired an unspecified stake in the company. [ 44 ] A second Chix unit opened in May 2015 with additional menu items. Super Chix was sold to founder Nick Ouimet and an investment group in August 2015. [ 41 ] In 2017, Yum! announced plans to open 10 Pizza Hut restaurants in Ethiopia, after signing a franchise with the country's Belayab Foods and Franchise PLC. [ 45 ] In January 2020, Yum! announced they were acquiring Irvine, California-based The Habit Burger Grill , for $375 million; the transaction was completed on March 18, 2020. [ 46 ] [ 47 ] The company was renamed Habit Burger & Grill in 2024. [ citation needed ] In 2020 and 2021, Yum! acquired several technology companies. In March 2020, it acquired Heartstyles, an omnichannel training company. [ 48 ] In March 2021, it acquired Tictuk Technologies, an Israeli omnichannel ordering and marketing solutions provider, [ 49 ] and announced it was acquiring Kvantum Inc., an artificial intelligence-based consumer insights and marketing technology company. [ 50 ] In September 2021, Yum! completed the acquisition of Australian kitchen order management and delivery technology company Dragontail Systems for US$69.1 million in cash. [ 51 ] In December 2023, the company announced it will acquire 218 restaurants from its largest franchisee EG Group in the UK and Ireland. After completion in 2024, all of the privately owned EG Group's KFC UK and Ireland businesses will come under Yum's KFC UK and Ireland management. [ 52 ] In 2021, Yum! Brands committed to transitioning to 100% cage-free eggs in the majority of its locations by 2026, and globally by 2030. [ 53 ] The KFC Yum! Center , Louisville's largest arena The current CEO of Yum! Brands is David Gibbs . Former CEOs include Greg Creed and David C. Novak . [ 54 ] Novak became CEO of predecessor firm Tricon Global on January 1, 2000, and chairman of the board on January 1, 2001. [ 55 ] Greg Creed replaced Novak in his role as CEO on January 1, 2015. [ 56 ] At the AGM in May 2016, Robert D. Walter became non-executive chairman. At the end of 2019 Greg Creed retired as CEO and the COO at that time (David Gibbs) was Creed's replacement and was promoted to CEO. [ 57 ] Since 2006, Yum! Brands has served as the corporate sponsor of the Kentucky Derby . [ 58 ] On October 20, 2015, Yum! announced that it intended to separate into two independent, publicly traded companies. [ 59 ] Yum China was spun off on November 1, 2016. [ 60 ] Yum China's operations excluded stores in Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, which are franchised from Yum Brands through Jardine Matheson unit Jardine Pacific's Jardine Restaurant Group .

Brands, Inc. (sometimes called just Yum\!) is an American multinational fast food corporation. Based in [Louisville, Kentucky](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louisville,_Kentucky "Louisville, Kentucky"), the company operates [KFC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KFC "KFC"), [Pizza Hut](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pizza_Hut "Pizza Hut"), [Taco Bell](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taco_Bell "Taco Bell"), [Habit Burger & Grill](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habit_Burger_%26_Grill "Habit Burger & Grill"), and several technology companies. Yum! is one of the world's largest [fast food restaurant](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_food_restaurant "Fast food restaurant") companies in terms of system units. In 2016, Yum! had 43,617 restaurants, including 2,859 that were company-owned and 40,758 that were franchised, in 135 nations and territories worldwide.[\[3\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yum!_Brands#cite_note-Yum!-Brands-AR2015-3) Yum! was formed as Tricon Global Restaurants in 1997 as a [spin-off](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_spin-off "Corporate spin-off") of [PepsiCo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PepsiCo "PepsiCo"). The spin-off consists of PepsiCo's former fast food restaurant division, which was originally established after PepsiCo first entered the restaurant business when it acquired Pizza Hut in 1977. Yum! took its current name in 2002 after merging with Yorkshire Global Restaurants, which at the time was the parent company of A\&W, which also spun off [an international branch](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A%26W_$Canada$ "A&W (Canada)"). In China, the restaurant brands are operated by a company known as [Yum China](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yum_China "Yum China"). One of the conditions of Yum! being a spin-off of PepsiCo is that the company has a perpetual agreement to serve [Pepsi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepsi "Pepsi") instead of [Coca-Cola](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coca-Cola "Coca-Cola") as a soft drink in all its restaurants (except in certain markets such as [Israel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel "Israel") and [New Zealand](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Zealand "New Zealand")).\[[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")\] In January 2026, Yum! Brands announced it had signed a 10-year lease in the [PNC Tower](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PNC_Tower "PNC Tower") in [downtown Louisville](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downtown_Louisville "Downtown Louisville") for its new headquarters, with plans to invest \$12 million to renovate five floors. The company plans to move 550 employees to its new headquarters in late 2026.[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yum!_Brands#cite_note-4)[\[5\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yum!_Brands#cite_note-5) ## History \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Yum!_Brands&action=edit&section=1 "Edit section: History")\] ### PepsiCo fast food division \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Yum!_Brands&action=edit&section=2 "Edit section: PepsiCo fast food division")\] The company's history began in 1977, when [PepsiCo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PepsiCo "PepsiCo") entered the restaurant business by acquiring [Pizza Hut](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pizza_Hut "Pizza Hut") from co-founders [Dan and Frank Carney](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_and_Frank_Carney "Dan and Frank Carney"). A year later, PepsiCo purchased Taco Bell from founder [Glen Bell](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glen_Bell "Glen Bell").[\[6\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yum!_Brands#cite_note-ctrib-6) In July 1986, [R. J. Reynolds](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R._J._Reynolds_Tobacco_Company "R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company") sold [KFC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KFC "KFC") to PepsiCo[\[6\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yum!_Brands#cite_note-ctrib-6) to pay off debt from its recent purchase of [Nabisco](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nabisco "Nabisco"). In 1990, [Hot 'n Now](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_%27n_Now "Hot 'n Now") was acquired via Taco Bell from William Van Domelen,[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yum!_Brands#cite_note-lat1-7) but the company was sold in 1996.[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yum!_Brands#cite_note-8) In 1992, PepsiCo acquired [California Pizza Kitchen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Pizza_Kitchen "California Pizza Kitchen"). In 1993, it acquired [Chevys Fresh Mex](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevys_Fresh_Mex "Chevys Fresh Mex"),[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yum!_Brands#cite_note-9) [D'Angelo Grilled Sandwiches](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%27Angelo_Grilled_Sandwiches "D'Angelo Grilled Sandwiches"),[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yum!_Brands#cite_note-10) and the American division of Canadian chain [East Side Mario's](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Side_Mario%27s "East Side Mario's"). These chains were later sold when PepsiCo exited the restaurant business and spun off KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell (see next paragraph).[\[11\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yum!_Brands#cite_note-11)[\[12\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yum!_Brands#cite_note-12)[\[13\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yum!_Brands#cite_note-13) In 1997, PepsiCo sold PepsiCo Food Systems restaurant-supply unit to Ameriserve Food Distribution Inc.[\[14\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yum!_Brands#cite_note-14) ### Tricon Global Restaurants \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Yum!_Brands&action=edit&section=3 "Edit section: Tricon Global Restaurants")\] [![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/48/Tricon_Yum_Logo.svg/250px-Tricon_Yum_Logo.svg.png)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Tricon_Yum_Logo.svg) Logo of Tricon Yum! was created in 1997 as Tricon Global Restaurants, Inc. from [PepsiCo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PepsiCo "PepsiCo")'s fast food division as the parent corporation of the KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell restaurant companies.[\[15\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yum!_Brands#cite_note-15)[\[16\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yum!_Brands#cite_note-lat2-16) The decision was announced in January and the [spin off](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_spin-off "Corporate spin-off") was effected on October 6.[\[17\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yum!_Brands#cite_note-17) Before the Tricon name was introduced in June 1997,[\[18\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yum!_Brands#cite_note-18) the company was referred to by the placeholder name "Great American Restaurant Company".[\[19\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yum!_Brands#cite_note-19) Tricon selected Louisville, also the site of KFC's headquarters, as its corporate headquarters.[\[16\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yum!_Brands#cite_note-lat2-16) Taco Bell and Pizza Hut continued to be headquartered in [Irvine, California](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irvine,_California "Irvine, California") and [Dallas](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dallas "Dallas"), Texas, respectively.[\[16\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yum!_Brands#cite_note-lat2-16) In 2000, Tricon Global tested multi-branded locations with Yorkshire Global Restaurants, parent company of A\&W and Long John Silver's. By March 2002, the Tricon-Yorkshire multibranding test consisted of 83 KFC/A\&Ws, six KFC/Long John Silver's and three Taco Bell/Long John Silver's and was considered successful by the companies.[\[20\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yum!_Brands#cite_note-pr-20) In 2001, KFC started test restaurants in Austin, Texas, called "Wing Works", a chicken wing line sold with one of a few flavored sauces. KFC also hired a consultant to develop a breakfast menu.[\[21\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yum!_Brands#cite_note-21) Tricon bought both A\&W and LJS from Grotech in March 2002, shortly before the merger announcement.[\[22\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yum!_Brands#cite_note-22) ### Yum! Brands \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Yum!_Brands&action=edit&section=4 "Edit section: Yum!

Brands.[\[23\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yum!_Brands#cite_note-23) The merger was finalized on May 8, 2002, and the name change became effective on May 22, 2002.[\[24\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yum!_Brands#cite_note-24) Tricon had previously used "YUM", an exclamation representing enjoyment of food, as its [stock ticker symbol](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stock_ticker_symbol "Stock ticker symbol") since it was spun off in 1997.[\[25\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yum!_Brands#cite_note-25) On June 6, 2002, Yum! executed a two-for-one [stock split](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stock_split "Stock split").[\[26\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yum!_Brands#cite_note-26) Shortly afterwards, due to Yum!'s lifetime contract with Pepsi, Long John Silver's and A\&W Restaurants (which previously served Coca-Cola products) began switching to Pepsi products, with A\&W Restaurants retaining [A\&W Root Beer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A%26W_Root_Beer "A&W Root Beer") from a separate deal with [Dr Pepper/Seven Up](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr_Pepper/Seven_Up "Dr Pepper/Seven Up") (now [Keurig Dr Pepper](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keurig_Dr_Pepper "Keurig Dr Pepper")).\[[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")\] In 2002, Yum! began testing co-branding locations pairing Pizza Hut with [Pasta Bravo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pasta_Bravo "Pasta Bravo"), [Back Yard Burgers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back_Yard_Burgers "Back Yard Burgers"), and A\&W.[\[27\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yum!_Brands#cite_note-27) The Pasta Bravo concept was acquired in 2003 from Pasta Bravo, Inc. of Aliso Viejo, California for \$5 million to pair with Pizza Hut.[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yum!_Brands#cite_note-nrn-28) In 2003, Yum! launched WingStreet as a hybrid combo unit with an existing Pizza Hut franchise.[\[29\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yum!_Brands#cite_note-bj-29) In 2007 and 2008, a thousand WingStreet stores a year were opened.

Brands chose the KFC business model (KFC is the most successful Western chain in China) and found greater success.[\[30\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yum!_Brands#cite_note-wsj_20061020-30) As of September 30, 2007, eight East Dawning restaurants were in operation.[\[31\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yum!_Brands#cite_note-31) ### International focus \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Yum!_Brands&action=edit&section=5 "Edit section: International focus")\] [![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bd/Tacobellkfcrestaurants.jpg/250px-Tacobellkfcrestaurants.jpg)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Tacobellkfcrestaurants.jpg) A single Yum! restaurant facility co-branded as Taco Bell and KFC in San Francisco, California [![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/37/Kfc_taco_bell.jpg/250px-Kfc_taco_bell.jpg)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Kfc_taco_bell.jpg) Another cobranded KFC and Taco Bell in [Oscoda, Michigan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscoda,_Michigan "Oscoda, Michigan") [![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/58/KFC-Pizza_Hut%2C_Chiefland%2C_Florida.jpg/250px-KFC-Pizza_Hut%2C_Chiefland%2C_Florida.jpg)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:KFC-Pizza_Hut,_Chiefland,_Florida.jpg) Cobranded KFC and Pizza Hut in [Chiefland, Florida](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiefland,_Florida "Chiefland, Florida") In January 2011, Yum! announced its intentions to dispose of its Long John Silver's and A\&W brands to focus on its core brands of KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell. For the decade leading up to the company's announcement, major growth had relied on international expansion. With little presence outside North America, the two chains no longer fit in the company's long-term growth plans.[\[32\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yum!_Brands#cite_note-32) The foreign expansion—particularly that of Taco Bell, KFC and Pizza Hut—was cited in the firm's January 18, 2011, announcement of its intention to dispose of the A\&W and Long John Silver's chains. Both of those chains also suffered from poor sales, and had fewer locations compared to the other chains in the Yum! Brands portfolio. In September 2011, Yum! announced they had found buyers for the A\&W and Long John Silver's chains. A Great American Brand bought A\&W, and Long John Silver's was sold to LJS Partners LLC.[\[33\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yum!_Brands#cite_note-sale-33) In May 2011, Yum! agreed to purchase Chinese [hot pot](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_pot "Hot pot") chain [Little Sheep](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Sheep "Little Sheep") for [HK\$](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HK$ "HK$")4\.56 billion.[\[34\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yum!_Brands#cite_note-34) The deal spent more than 4 months in antitrust review by the Chinese Ministry of Commerce, to determine whether or not the transaction would result in a monopolistic positioning of Yum! in the country's restaurant industry. The Ministry approved the deal in November 2011, according to Little Sheep representatives.[\[35\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yum!_Brands#cite_note-cp-35) In 2012, a KFC opened in [Ramallah](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramallah "Ramallah") and became the first American fast food restaurant to operate in the [West Bank](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Bank "West Bank"); a Pizza Hut was also planned.[\[36\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yum!_Brands#cite_note-36) In India, Thailand, Nepal, and Nigeria, Yum!

Brands, Inc. (sometimes called just Yum\!) is an American multinational fast food corporation. Based in [Louisville, Kentucky](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louisville,_Kentucky "Louisville, Kentucky"), the company operates [KFC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KFC "KFC"), [Pizza Hut](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pizza_Hut "Pizza Hut"), [Taco Bell](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taco_Bell "Taco Bell"), [Habit Burger & Grill](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habit_Burger_%26_Grill "Habit Burger & Grill"), and several technology companies. Yum! is one of the world's largest [fast food restaurant](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_food_restaurant "Fast food restaurant") companies in terms of system units. In 2016, Yum! had 43,617 restaurants, including 2,859 that were company-owned and 40,758 that were franchised, in 135 nations and territories worldwide.[\[3\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yum!_Brands#cite_note-Yum!-Brands-AR2015-3) Yum! was formed as Tricon Global Restaurants in 1997 as a [spin-off](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_spin-off "Corporate spin-off") of [PepsiCo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PepsiCo "PepsiCo"). The spin-off consists of PepsiCo's former fast food restaurant division, which was originally established after PepsiCo first entered the restaurant business when it acquired Pizza Hut in 1977. Yum! took its current name in 2002 after merging with Yorkshire Global Restaurants, which at the time was the parent company of A\&W, which also spun off [an international branch](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A%26W_$Canada$ "A&W (Canada)"). In China, the restaurant brands are operated by a company known as [Yum China](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yum_China "Yum China"). One of the conditions of Yum! being a spin-off of PepsiCo is that the company has a perpetual agreement to serve [Pepsi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepsi "Pepsi") instead of [Coca-Cola](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coca-Cola "Coca-Cola") as a soft drink in all its restaurants (except in certain markets such as [Israel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel "Israel") and [New Zealand](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Zealand "New Zealand")).\[[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")\] In January 2026, Yum! Brands announced it had signed a 10-year lease in the [PNC Tower](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PNC_Tower "PNC Tower") in [downtown Louisville](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downtown_Louisville "Downtown Louisville") for its new headquarters, with plans to invest \$12 million to renovate five floors. The company plans to move 550 employees to its new headquarters in late 2026.[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yum!_Brands#cite_note-4)[\[5\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yum!_Brands#cite_note-5) ### PepsiCo fast food division \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Yum!_Brands&action=edit&section=2 "Edit section: PepsiCo fast food division")\] The company's history began in 1977, when [PepsiCo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PepsiCo "PepsiCo") entered the restaurant business by acquiring [Pizza Hut](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pizza_Hut "Pizza Hut") from co-founders [Dan and Frank Carney](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_and_Frank_Carney "Dan and Frank Carney"). A year later, PepsiCo purchased Taco Bell from founder [Glen Bell](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glen_Bell "Glen Bell").[\[6\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yum!_Brands#cite_note-ctrib-6) In July 1986, [R. J. Reynolds](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R._J._Reynolds_Tobacco_Company "R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company") sold [KFC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KFC "KFC") to PepsiCo[\[6\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yum!_Brands#cite_note-ctrib-6) to pay off debt from its recent purchase of [Nabisco](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nabisco "Nabisco").

For the decade leading up to the company's announcement, major growth had relied on international expansion. With little presence outside North America, the two chains no longer fit in the company's long-term growth plans.[\[32\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yum!_Brands#cite_note-32) The foreign expansion—particularly that of Taco Bell, KFC and Pizza Hut—was cited in the firm's January 18, 2011, announcement of its intention to dispose of the A\&W and Long John Silver's chains. Both of those chains also suffered from poor sales, and had fewer locations compared to the other chains in the Yum! Brands portfolio. In September 2011, Yum! announced they had found buyers for the A\&W and Long John Silver's chains. A Great American Brand bought A\&W, and Long John Silver's was sold to LJS Partners LLC.[\[33\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yum!_Brands#cite_note-sale-33) In May 2011, Yum! agreed to purchase Chinese [hot pot](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_pot "Hot pot") chain [Little Sheep](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Sheep "Little Sheep") for [HK\$](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HK$ "HK$")4\.56 billion.[\[34\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yum!_Brands#cite_note-34) The deal spent more than 4 months in antitrust review by the Chinese Ministry of Commerce, to determine whether or not the transaction would result in a monopolistic positioning of Yum! in the country's restaurant industry. The Ministry approved the deal in November 2011, according to Little Sheep representatives.[\[35\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yum!_Brands#cite_note-cp-35) In 2012, a KFC opened in [Ramallah](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramallah "Ramallah") and became the first American fast food restaurant to operate in the [West Bank](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Bank "West Bank"); a Pizza Hut was also planned.[\[36\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yum!_Brands#cite_note-36) In India, Thailand, Nepal, and Nigeria, Yum!
