Yum also anticipates one-time expenses of about $85 million during the rest of 2026 tied to the transactions. <\/p>\n<p>The deals cap off years of struggles for Pizza Hut, which has weighed on Yum&#8217;s overall financial performance. In the U.S., the pizza chain has transitioned from the sit-down format and salad bars of yore to focus on delivery and carryout \u2014 far behind the curve.

On Tuesday, the company said its leadership team and board determined that selling Pizza Hut would provide &#8220;the strongest path&#8221; to maximize shareholder value and give the pizza chain an ownership structure &#8220;tailored to its distinct markets, competitive strengths and long-term priorities.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Brothers Dan and Frank Carney founded Pizza Hut in 1958 in Wichita, Kansas.

Just two years later, it was the biggest pizza chain in the world, although it lost that title in 2017 to Domino&#8217;s. <\/p>\n<p>The deal severs Pizza Hut&#8217;s decades-long ties to Taco Bell and KFC, its sister brands in Yum&#8217;s portfolio. <\/p>\n<p><span>PepsiCo<span><span><button><\/button><\/span><\/span><\/span> bought Pizza Hut in 1977, marking the beverage giant&#8217;s entry into the restaurant business.
