[KFC is leaving Kentucky.
The fast food giant, once known as
Kentucky Fried Chicken, is relocating
its corporate office to Texas in a
shake-up announced earlier this week.
Started by Colonel Harland Sanders,
KFC will be based in Plano, Texas,
moving forward.
Around 100 corporate employees will be
relocated in the next six months,
Yum Brands, KFC's parent company
which also owns Taco Bell and
Pizza Hut, said.
In recent years, other companies have
also relocated to
Texas,
a popular destination thanks to
its low-tax and business-friendly policies,
according to a 2023 report by
the CBRE investment firm.
Governor of Kentucky Andy Beshear
was quick to respond to the news.
He said: "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."]
