      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.
