Not anymore though. They spun kfc, taco bell, and pizza hut years ago and they are under the yum brand now. They still have exclusive contracts regarding fountain. Not sure what other connections are left.
Yum! Brands, Inc. (sometimes called simply Yum!), formerly Tricon Global Restaurants, Inc., is an American multinational fast food corporation listed on the Fortune 1000. Yum! operates the brands KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, and The Habit Burger Grill, except in China, where the brands are operated by a separate company, Yum China. Yum! previously also owned Long John Silver’s and A&W Restaurants. The company was created as a spin-off of PepsiCo in 1997.
I went and looked up the Wikipedia page out of curiosity when someone disagreed that they’re a Chinese conglomerate and thought I’d share for anyone else reading the thread.
A Chinese conglomerate publicly traded on the NYSE who reports in USD and files with the SEC? A Chinese conglomerate with their headquarters in Kentucky whose majority investors are institutional? A Chinese conglomerate with most shares owned by people or companies in America and whose executives are all American?
Probably telemetry, which most ad blockers also block. I think you meant kfc instead of pepsi
KFC is under the PepsiCo monopoly
Yum (KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut) split from Pepsi a couple decades ago back in 1997.
TIL. Damn it

Short answer: not a Chinese conglomerate.

They could be owned by sewer rats. But that wouldn’t matter 'cause I don’t eat the mother fucker anyway.
