KFC, the fast-food restaurant chain formerly known as Kentucky Fried Chicken, is moving its corporate headquarters in the US from Kentucky to Texas, its owner has announced.
Yum Brands said it will shift the office from Louisville to Plano though KFC will keep some operations in Kentucky, including its KFC Foundation.
However, Andy Beshear, governor of the state of Kentucky, said: “I am disappointed by this decision and believe the company’s founder would be, too.
In recent years, many companies have relocated to Texas attracted by the state’s lower taxes and business-friendly policies.
