Yum! Brands offers retirement buyouts

Yum! Brands –the Louisville conglomerate over KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell – is downsizing.

A Yum spokeswoman confirmed Saturday that the company is offering some employees retirement buyouts.

"In anticipation of the separation of our China business and as the new Yum! becomes a more highly franchised and efficient company as previously disclosed, we’re offering a comprehensive voluntary retirement program to eligible employees at our three Restaurant Support Centers in the U.S.," company spokeswoman Virginia Ferguson said Saturday.
