KFC is under the PepsiCo monopoly

Yum (KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut) split from Pepsi a couple decades ago back in 1997.

no it isn't, it's owned by yum brands, a Chinese restaurant conglomerate. not better, but not pepsico either.

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.

Short answer: not a Chinese conglomerate.

well shit, i didn't look that close. i just knew it wasn't PepsiCo.

Glad I could provide additional context :)

Hope you have a good one!

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?

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