    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.

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.

    About PINCHO

    "Pincho
    Pincho is an elevated fast-casual Latin grill concept. We’re a concept that was born from a passion for food and is ready to grow to the next level. We’re a modern-day burger and kebab joint, and we haven’t seen any other new franchise opportunity out there doing things quite like us.
    “There’s nobody else like us in the U.S.,” says CEO and Co-Founder Otto Othman. “I’m not sure there’s anybody else like us anywhere that is serving up these kinds of meals influenced by iconic Latin street food and Latin American dishes. You wrap all that up into a concept that has fantastic economics, and you have something truly unique.”

    The total investment necessary to begin operation of a Pincho franchise under a franchise agreement is $463,055 - $655,500. This includes $30,000 that must be paid to the Franchisor or affiliate.
    The total investment necessary to begin operation of a Pincho franchise for the first restaurant if you sign an Area Development Agreement, which requires a minimum development of 3 Pincho Restaurants, is $523,055 - $715,500. This includes $90,000 that must be paid to the Franchisor or affiliate. If you and the franchisor agree to the development of more than 3 Pincho Restaurants, then your initial total investment for the first restaurant will increase by the number of additional Restaurants to be opened under the Area Development Agreement, multiplied by $30,000.
