Yum Won't Open KFC In Iran
Nation's Restaurant News, Wednesday, February 29, 2012 10:32 AM
Yum Brands Inc. denied reports Monday that its KFC brand authorized a new restaurant in Iran late last week.
Several news websites, citing Iranian media outlets, reported that a KFC outlet opened Friday in the city of Karaj, a suburb of Iran’s capital, Tehran. American companies are prohibited from doing business in the country, and Louisville, Ky.-based Yum said it has not had any restaurants in Iran since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
