KFC Relocates US Headquarters to Plano, Texas for Expanded Growth
.webp)
KFC is moving its US headquarters from Louisville, Kentucky to Plano, Texas, a decision that will affect roughly 100 employees in the next six months and require another 90 remote workers to relocate within 18 months. The change is part of Yum! Brands' strategic effort to tap into more favorable market conditions and support sustainable growth in a dynamic business environment.
This relocation comes as a move to consolidate operations and enhance overall efficiency. Yum! Brands CEO David Gibbs emphasized that gathering more teams in one location is expected to better serve customers, franchisees, and shareholders. Notably, Pizza Hut Global will also be based in Plano, highlighting a broader shift in the company’s global operational strategy.
Despite the shift, KFC will maintain its longstanding ties to Kentucky by keeping corporate offices in Louisville. In addition, a $1 million endowment will be provided to the University of Louisville’s College of Business to support scholarships and further develop the Yum! Center for Global Franchise Excellence, ensuring that the brand’s heritage continues to play a key role in its future success.
