It’s true, KFC is pulling its corporate headquarters out of Kentucky after nearly a century tied to the state.
Yum! Brands, the parent company, announced on February 18, 2025, that they’re shifting KFC’s U.S. base from Louisville to Plano, Texas, where it’ll bunk with Pizza Hut’s global HQ.
About 100 Louisville based employees will relocate over the next six months, and another 90 remote workers have 18 months to make the move.
The company’s calling it a “strategic decision” to boost collaboration across its brands, and some speculate Texas’s business friendly perks (like no corporate or personal income tax) might be a draw, though Yum! didn’t confirm that.
