Louisville, KY. – Kenki fried chicken is eradicated from the home of its ancestors to a shake, which will move its corporate office to the United States to Texas.
KFC chain – started by Colonel Harland Sanders and its secret mix of 11 herbs and spices – will be based in plan, Texas, and about 100 corporate KFC officials will be moved in the next six months, said Yum Brands, which owns KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut.
Moving the corporate office from Louisville brought a quick response from the mayor of the city.
“I am disappointed to learn that the YUM brands will move their KFC employees to Texas – especially since the brand was born here and is synonymous with Kentucky,” says Mayor Craig Greenberg in a statement.
Yum said this move was part of his wider plans to designate two plans of the brand in the United States – in Plano and Irvine, Calif. She said. Yum added that 90 US -based employees who have worked remotely will be asked to eventually move to Plano or Irvine campuses, depending on their work.
Yum and the KFC Foundation will support corporate offices in Louisville, the company said.
“I wanted to meet with YUM Executive Director soon and I am Hearted Yum will keep his corporate headquarters and 560 employees here,” Greenberg said. “I will work tirelessly with the YUM management to continue to grow my presence in Louisville.”
Employees who have been displaced will receive relocation and transition support, the company said.
Yum said the designation of two plants of the brand aims to encourage more cooperation between its brands and employees.
“These changes are positioning us for sustainable growth and will help us to better serve our customers, employees, franchisees and shareholders,” said YUM CEO David Gibbs in a news message.
Yum has also announced that it will provide $ 1 million to the University of Louisville University of Business to finance YUM sponsored scholarships. And the company said the KFC will continue its presence of the brand in Louisville in order to build the first of its kind restaurant.
KFC’s links with Kentucky work near a century deep. In 1930, at a service station in Corbin, Kiev, Sanders, he began feeding travelers and spent the next nine years, refining his mixture of herbs and spices, as well as the main cooking technique, the KFC website said.
There are now over 245 KFC outlets in more than 145 countries and territories around the world, the statement said. And the entrepreneur’s similarity is known globally after being stamped on KFC restaurant signs and chicken buckets.
