The relocation to Texas by Yum! Brands, which Pepsico spun off in 1997, is a move to help keep the company growing. Today, KFC has more than 30,000 restaurants in 150 countries and is considered the second-largest restaurant chain in the world, behind only McDonald’s.

KFC started in a motel in a small town in Kentucky 95 years ago and continued its operations in the Bluegrass State. It was Kentucky Fried Chicken until it was rebranded as KFC in the 1990s and had been headquartered in Louisville since 1997, The Lexington Herald-Leader reported.

KFC is leaving Kentucky. The fried chicken chain’s U.S. headquarters will move from Louisville, Kentucky, to Plano, Texas, owner Yum Brands said Tuesday. About 100 KFC U.S. employees will be required to relocate over the next six months.
