The financial details of the deal were not disclosed.
Triton Pacific CEO Craig Faggen said: “We are thrilled to expand our relationship with Yum! Brands and are enthusiastic about the future growth opportunity this transaction affords.
“KFC is a long-standing leader within the chicken category for quick-service restaurants. The industry, however, remains highly fragmented, and the opportunity to purchase a sizable, well-established business such as this is limited.

On behalf of Triton Pacific sponsored funds, it manages a portfolio of approximately 370 quick-service restaurant brands, including Pizza Hut, Burger King, Dunkin’, Baskin-Robbins and KFC, across 16 US states.
Last November, KFC launched its Quick Pick-Up service, which enables customers to collect orders without waiting in drive-thru lines. The service aims to eliminate wait times for drive-thru customers and streamline pick-ups.
