  1. Global Brands • KFC • Founded 50 years ago as Kentucky Fried Chicken • Today has ~ 5,000 U.S. restaurants; ~ 6,000 abroad • 158 franchises in Indonesia, world’s largest Muslim nation • KFC in more than 80 countries, including Japan, Australia, Egypt, Mexico, Malaysia, and Swaziland • Now 1,100 stores in China

  2. Global Brands • YUM! Brands (formerly Tricon) committed to international growth • Since formation (1997, Pepsi spinoff), has opened 5,100+ restaurants; 3,200 of those have been abroad • Plans to open 1,000+ stores/yr overseas for foreseeable future • 30,000+ outlets in 100+ countries, most of any restaurant Co in world

  3. Global Brands • YUM! can’t just open restaurants based on U.S. model and expect success • Has to adapt to local tastes, negotiate changing cultural and political climates • Japan: KFC sells tempura crispy strips • No. England: stresses gravy and potatoes • Thailand: offers fresh rice w/soy or sweet chili sauce • Holland: potato-and-onion croquette • France: pastries in addition to chicken • China: chicken gets spicier farther inland; spinach, egg, and tomato soup • “If it’s only an American brand without a regional appeal, it’s going to be difficult to market.”

  4. Global Brands • Key to YUM!’s revival in England was willingness of Co to take more control over franchises • Part of trick for any large franchise operator is to allow local flexibility while maintaining quality control and central marketing message • YUM! shut down franchises that didn’t meet Co standards, introduced new products, established Co-owned restaurants in France, Holland, Germany to serve as models

  5. Global Brands • Chinese situation differs, to some extent • KFC is most recognized foreign brand in China, ahead of Coke and McDonald’s • 540 KFCs (now 1,100), 65 Pizza Huts in 130 cities (even though cost of KFC value meal = 6 hrs average pay) • KFC particularly adept at wooing children • Kid’s meals, inside playgrounds • Marketing: “Chicky” is friendly chicken character created by KFC in Asia; hugely popular • Source: Fortune, 11/26/01; Wall Street Journal, 8/5/04
