• YUM BRANDS INC Profile

    Chicken, pizza, and tacos -- oh my! YUM! Brands is the largest fast-food operator in the world in terms of number of locations, with more than 35,000 outlets in more than 100 countries. (It trails only hamburger giant McDonald's in sales.) Its flagship chains include #1 chicken fryer KFC (with more than 14,800 units), top pizza joint Pizza Hut (about 12,800), and quick-service Mexican leader Taco Bell (more than 5,800). YUM! also operates the Long John Silver's seafood chain, along with several hundred A&W root beer and burger stands. The company operates a little more than 20% of its restaurants; the rest are either franchised or licensed locations.
