This is from the Facebook group “Old Shops Australia” KFC is trying to be a little less Kentucky and a little more Aussie. This is from the new Revesby store.

I wonder if they’ll revert the branding back to the 90s logo. As they’ve done in the US.
Was Pizza Hut’s master franchise rights in Australia originally owned by PepsiCo but they sold it a few years ago?
Yum! Brands now opens brand rights to Pizza Hut worldwide along with KFC and Taco Bell. Yum! will have to give consent to Flynn’s purchase of the Australian franchise.
Hog’s Breath Cafe on Friday revealed it is soon shutting its Dandenong and Karingal restaurants in Victoria.

A shame, I like Hogs Breath, their Newcastle store closed during the pandemic.
I hope they come good again.

They’re still trying to flog the plant based whopper?

I suppose so, but that wasn’t the part I was interested in 
A small plant based Whopper meal at nearly 5000 kilojoules. That’s 60% of your daily energy needs. Fast food vegetarian meals are clearly not part of a weight loss plan!

This appears to be another move to shed corporately owned stores (either to franchisees or closure) - they’re still expecting store counts to grow too.
Their growth model appears to be driven around achieving stupidly tight turn around timing on delivery (from order acceptance to delivery) - can’t be that surprising that they’d be running a series of underperforming stores with that model
