Yum! Brands
Owns KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut.
📖 Its story
For years, PepsiCo owned KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell. In 1997 it decided to split them off and form a new company just for restaurants. Today it has tens of thousands of restaurants all over the world.
💵 How it makes money
Most of its restaurants belong to franchise owners, who pay it a part of what they sell for using its brands.
🤯 Fun fact
KFC started with Colonel Harland Sanders, who sold fried chicken at a gas station in Kentucky.
👍 The good part
Its brands are known in almost every country.
⚠️ The risk
If people decide to eat healthier or spend less on fast food, it sells less.
