Baja Blast fans can breathe easy. Taco Bell and PepsiCo have renewed their partnership for another 11 years, keeping Pepsi in Taco Bell fountains through 2036. They announced the deal Oct. 22, one week after sister chain KFC said it would drop Pepsi for Coca-Cola in the U.S. after 40 years. Both chains belong to Yum Brands, like two siblings from the same house cheering for rival teams.
Yum Brands agreed in June to sell Pizza Hut. That leaves KFC, the Habit Burger & Grill and one chain that supplies 43% of the company's operating profit. Taco Bell's same-store sales rose 7% in the second quarter against 3% growth across Yum, and system sales at the chain climbed 9% while Pizza Hut slipped 2%. Digital orders reached 47% of the mix. CEO Chris Turner said Taco Bell "entered Q3 in its strongest position ever" and told investors the company would move ahead as a "more focused organization positioned to accelerate growth."
KFC will open a restaurant in Texas this summer that its U.S. president describes as the chain ten years from now. The prototype, called Open House, lands in McKinney, a Dallas suburb near parent company Yum Brands' Plano headquarters. Guests can order at a table, in the drive-thru or for takeout. The menu pairs new items with signature ones "packaged in a new way."
It seems that now QSR chains have to plan around two calendars. One belongs to holidays, with brands like Krispy Kreme and Del Taco preparing red-white-and-blue launches for America's 250th birthday. The other follows the algorithm, which publishes no schedule.
Feeding a crowd is one job most people would happily hand off, and Church's Texas Chicken wants to take it. The fried chicken chain just launched Church's Catering, a program that delivers its menu in group-friendly formats for everything from office lunches to family reunions.
