The fried chicken chain’s U.S. headquarters will move from Louisville, Kentucky, to Plano, Texas, owner Yum Brands said Tuesday. About 100 KFC U.S. employees will be required to relocate over the next six months. The relocation is part of Yum’s broader plan to have two corporate headquarters: one in Plano, the other in Irvine, California.
Main Idea: Yum Brands is moving KFC’s U.S. headquarters from Kentucky to Texas as part of a broader plan to reorganize its corporate offices.

Plano may gain jobs and customer spending, while KFC keeps some offices in Louisville and may limit the local loss.
