LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Yum! Brands plans to invest $12 million to renovate five floors of Louisville's second-largest building as it relocates its headquarters.
According to our partners at Louisville Business First, five floors of the PNC Tower at 101 S. 5th St. will be transformed for 550 Yum! Brands employees. In October, Yum! Brands announced plans to move those employees to a new headquarters in the downtown office tower.
According to Business First, the restaurant giant based in Louisville will sign a 10-year lease.
"Our new offices will support the flexibility, creativity, and collaboration of our unrivaled culture and talent, which makes Yum unique," Chris Turner, CEO of Yum Brands, said in a news release at the time. "We’re grateful for the warm welcome and partnership from Mayor [Craig] Greenberg’s office and the Louisville Economic Development Alliance as we make this move Downtown, and we’re excited for the opportunities that lie ahead in the next chapter of Yum Brands in Louisville."
For decades, Yum! Brands was headquartered on an 28-acre property off Gardiner Lane. Earlier this year, the company donated the building to Jefferson County Public Schools.
The company announced in February plans to relocate around 100 corporate jobs in Louisville to the company's Plano, Texas office, combining the KFC Louisville headquarters with Pizza Hut's headquarters. In early June, the company gave employees in Louisville a September deadline to decide if they will relocate to Plano.
Yum! Brands employees are expected to move in late-2026.
