KFC, originally Kentucky Fried Chicken, is relocating its corporate headquarters from Kentucky to Plano, Texas. Parent company Yum! Brands plans to move about 100 employees and support remote workers in transitioning over the next 18 months. Kentucky officials expressed disappointment, citing the brand’s deep ties to the state. Yum! Brands aims to enhance collaboration among its brands and employees with this strategic decision. The move aligns with other companies attracted to Texas’ low corporate taxes, including Tesla and SpaceX. KFC will maintain offices in Louisville despite the shift. — news from The Guardian
