    About KFC US LLC

    His recipe is still a secret, but more than 2 billion of Colonel Harland Sanders' 'finger lickin' good' chicken dinners are served annually in more than 82 countries around the world. Nearly 50 years ago, Colonel Sanders set out to sell complete meals to time-strapped families, calling his home meal replacements 'Sunday Dinner, Seven Days a Week.' Acquired by PepsiCo in 1986, KFC is now a part of Yum! Brands Inc., which includes A&W, Long John Silver's, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut.

    The total investment necessary to begin operation of a newly constructed KFC outlet ranges from $1,442,600 to $2,771,550. This includes $45,000 to $50,000 that must be paid to KFCLLC or its affiliates.
    The total investment necessary to begin operation of a reopened or remodeled former KFC outlet, or converted KFC outlet ranges from $1,008,600 to $2,221,550. This includes $45,000 to $50,000 that must be paid to KFCLLC or its affiliates.
    KFCLLC also offers multi-unit development opportunities. The total investment necessary to begin exercising development rights is estimated to be $135,000 to $540,000 (based on the expectation that you will develop 3 to 12 outlets during the term of the development agreement), determined by multiplying the number of new outlets you agree to develop by $45,000, all of which must be paid to KFCLLC.
    The total investment necessary to begin operation of a KFC non-traditional outlet ranges from $241,100 to $996,000. This includes $12,100 to $17,100 that must be paid to the licensor or its affiliates.
