While the company has Kentucky in its name, its not the first brand to be headquartered in a different state.
What Happened: Kentucky Fried Chicken, which was founded by Harland Sanders (aka Colonel Sanders) in the 1930s, will soon call Texas home. It joins several other companies moving their headquarters to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39804744/spacex-x-to-move-headquarters-from-california-to-texas-musk-calls-it-the-final-straw-criticizes-gov"> the southern state.</a>
Yum Brands announced the move in February. The company will have two brand headquarters in the U.S., one located in Plano, Texas, and the other in Irvine, California.
Kentucky Fried Chicken U.S. and Pizza Hut global headquarters will be located in Plano, Texas. KFC US is currently headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky. KFC US corporate office employees in Kentucky and remote workers are being asked to move to Texas.
Taco Bell and Habit Burger &amp; Grill will be headquartered in Irvine, California. The KFC Foundation and Yum Brands corporate offices will remain in Louisville, Kentucky as part of the transition.
"These changes position us for sustainable growth and will help us better serve our customers, employees, franchisees and shareholders," Yum Brands CEO David Gibbs <a href="https://www.yum.com/wps/portal/yumbrands/Yumbrands/news/!ut/p/z1/jY9BC4JAFIR_SwevvmeiLt1ECFPJ9iDaXkJjWw11RTf9-0l1EUp6t3l8M8MAgwxYm4-VyFUl27ye9ZnZF0LDrY8xHkniWUi3RniI9o6BiQHpC8Af5yKwf_wrAFuPT4EtK2IS20g9z_QD6pjkZH-AlYwAmKhl8Z7rtoVJBLCe33jPe_3Rz-9SqW7YaajhNE26kFLUXL_KRsNvllIOCrIlCV2TZHi36jFyN0_Y713h/?urile=wcm:oid:54d63edb-2d60-4482-9134-ba1e69af9aac">said</a>. "Ultimately, bringing more of our people together on a consistent basis will maximize our unrivaled culture and talent as a competitive advantage. I'm confident this is another important step in growing our iconic restaurant brands globally."

The restaurant brand has 114 locations in Kentucky, which ranks 11th of the states. With 324 locations, Texas ranks second for KFC trailing only California (438).

10 Consumer Discretionary Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

The U.S. restaurant industry was impacted by high wages, food cost inflation and traffic woes in 2024 after two years of strong growth. However, the industry turned around in early 2025 buoyed by an aggressive interest rate cut by the Fed in second-half 2024.&nbsp;
At present, the Zacks-defined Retail &ndash; <a href="https://www.zacks.com/stocks/industry-rank/industry/retail-restaurants-160">Restaurant Industry</a> is currently in the top 23% of the Zacks Industry Rank. Since it is ranked in the top half of Zacks Ranked Industries, we expect the restaurant industry to outperform the market over the next three to six months. Year to date, the restaurant industry has climbed 7.8% compared with the 4.1% rise of the S&amp;P 500.&nbsp;
At this stage, we recommend five U.S. restaurant stocks with a favorable Zacks Rank and strong near-term price upside potential. These are Texas Roadhouse Inc. TXRH, Shake Shack Inc. SHAK, Kura Sushi USA Inc. KRUS, Sweetgreen Inc. SG and Potbelly Corp. PBPB.
<h2>Near-Term Catalysts&nbsp;</h2>
The Fed reduced the benchmark lending rate by 1% in 2024. Lower borrowing costs will substantially help both restaurant owners and consumers. Lower borrowing costs typically help boost consumer spending. Also, low interest rates will allow restaurant owners to proceed with their expansion plans.
The Fed also believes that inflation is now on track to gradually meet its 2% target. Market participants are hopeful of another 50-basis point rate cut by the end of this year, which will further help the restaurant industry.
Despite inflationary pressures, sales at U.S. restaurants continue to rise. According to the Commerce Department, sales at food services and drinking establishments increased 0.9% month over month and 5.4% year over year in January.
Restaurant operators&#39; focus on digital innovation, sales-building initiatives and cost-saving efforts has acted as a catalyst. With the growing influence of the Internet, digital innovation is the need of the hour. Restaurant operators constantly partner with delivery channels and digital platforms to drive incremental sales.
Restaurant operators constantly partner with delivery channels and digital platforms to drive incremental sales. Partnerships with delivery channels like DoorDash, Grubhub, Postmates and Uber Eats, and the rollout of self-service kiosks and loyalty programs continue to drive growth. Restaurant operators also focus on driverless delivery systems to augment sales.
The industry is gaining from the increase in off-premise sales, which primarily include delivery, takeout, drive-thru, catering, meal kits and off-site options, such as kiosks and food trucks. Most restaurant operators have initiated the testing of ghost or virtual kitchens. The idea of providing off-premise offerings and a connected curbside service has been garnering positive customer feedback.
<h2>5 U.S. Restaurant Stocks to Buy</h2>
These five U.S. restaurant stocks have strong revenues and earnings growth potential for 2025. These stocks have seen positive earnings estimate revisions in the last 60 days. Each of our picks carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

Rumors

Watching Texas Roadhouse; Shares See Volume To The Upside As Traders Circulate Unformed Rumors A Popular Trading TV Host Added A Position In The Stock

BofA Securities analyst downgraded the shares of Bloomin&#8217; Brands Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLMN#NASDAQ">BLMN</a>) from Neutral to Underperform and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BLMN/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">lowered the price forecast from $18.00 to $13.00.</a>
Over the last decade, Bloomin&#8217;s transaction growth has averaged a decline of approximately 2% per year across its brands, with its largest brand, Outback, seeing a -1.1% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in traffic, said the analyst.
Outback US accounted for about 51% of Bloomin&#8217;s (BLMN) revenue in FY24, and following the Brazil licensing, this is expected to rise to around 53%.

While the casual dining sector generally experiences slow growth, Bloomin&#8217;s challenges have allowed competitors to gain a larger market share. The new management&#8217;s primary focus is on reversing the decline in traffic, noted the analyst.
Although BLMN&#8217;s volumes have consistently decreased, its margins have remained unexpectedly strong. Domestic same-store transaction counts across the BLMN system are roughly 10% lower than in 2019, but restaurant margins have only dropped by 70 basis points.
With flow-through margins around 40% on additional transactions, the analyst would have anticipated a margin decline closer to 260 basis points compared to 2019.
The fact that their pricing has been on par with or higher than direct competitors such as Texas Roadhouse Inc in the steak category, supports this perspective.
While turnarounds in casual dining are uncommon, they are not unattainable, as demonstrated by Chili&#8217;s. However, its parent company, Brinker International Inc made substantial investments in labor to enhance service and marketing efforts to attract customers.
To balance this, Brinker implemented significant price hikes. In contrast, the analyst notes an important difference between Chili&#8217;s and Bloomin&#8217; is that Chili&#8217;s had historically underpriced its competitors.
Bloomin&#8217;s brands, on the other hand, have maintained competitive pricing and lack the scale advantages within their segments to outspend rivals on marketing or value without compromising margins.
Although BLMN is currently priced below its historical average, the analyst anticipates that both revenue and earnings projections will continue to face pressure in the near future.
Price Action: BLMN shares are trading lower by 0.36% at $12.27 at the last check Monday.
