    At KBP, it's our promise and privilege to support the local nonprofits doing incredible work in the communities we serve. In partnership with the Taco Bell Foundation, we're proud to stand behind Friends of the Children - Colorado, which pairs youth facing the greatest obstacles with a professional mentor for 12+ years, no matter what. To every team member who encourages guests to Round Up and every guest who contributes – thank you for helping make this support possible. Small acts of generosity add up to a lasting impact. 💜

    Every day, our youth are setting goals, building confidence, and showing up for themselves, with a professional mentor walking alongside them for 12+ years, no matter what. That work just got a major boost! We're thrilled to share that the Taco Bell Foundation has awarded Friends of the Children – Colorado a $100,000 Community Grant. This kind of support doesn't happen without community generosity, so thank you to every customer who Rounds Up at your local Taco Bell! Because of you, youth in Colorado will have a Friend in their corner for the long haul. Special thanks to our Board Member Joe Schmidt of KBP Brands for his support!

    Our beloved Big Chicken in Marietta, GA made the cover of Georgia Magazine's September 2026 issue! For more than 60 years, this 56-foot landmark has been part of the fabric of Cobb County. In 2017, KBP Brands invested $2.2M to fully restore this Marietta icon, and today it welcomes an estimated 150,000 guests a year, with countless more stopping by just to take a photo. As KBP's SVP of Marketing, Anthony Gianino, told the magazine: "There's a sense of love for The Big Chicken that you don't get at a regular KFC. It's a completely different thing and so unique that you literally don't have it anywhere else in the world." Thank you to The Big Chicken team for keeping this landmark such a special place to visit, year after year. 👉 Check out the article: https://shorturl.at/1ceul #TheBigChicken #KBPBrands

  • 🚗 Two years ago, we welcomed our first Sonic Drive-Ins to the KBP family. Today, we've grown to 164 locations across 8 states. But growth isn't just about numbers. It's about the teams who show up every day, deliver great guest experiences, and live the KBP values. Cheers to two years of KBP Drive-In – and the people who make it happen. 🎉 #KBPDriveIn #Sonic #TeamKBP

  • Last week, our HR team had the privilege of volunteering with Giving the Basics 📦, where our CPO Kristi Macaluso serves on the board. Together, we packaged 15,406 hygiene items for students, seniors, and families in our community – everyday essentials that make a real difference. Thank you to Giving the Basics for the opportunity. It was a fun day of teamwork, and a good reminder that living our values means showing up. If you're local to the KC area, Giving the Basics is looking for volunteer groups this August and September.

  • Happy National Fried Chicken Day! 🍗 74 years of heritage, and still finding new ways to stay fresh - proof that some things (like a secret blend of 11 herbs and spices) never go out of style. Cheers to our teams who serve up world famous fried chicken for our guests every day, and cheers to a brand worth celebrating. 🎉

    Happy National Fried Chicken Day to our U.S. fans! 🍗 Today, we're celebrating with KFC, the brand that arguably started it all. As KFC celebrates 74 years of heritage, the brand is proving that honoring your legacy and evolving for the future aren't mutually exclusive. From refreshing beloved brand elements to creating a more connected experience across every touchpoint, its latest global brand evolution is all about keeping what's iconic while making it fresh. In our latest story, we go behind the scenes with the teams at KFC and global branding agency JKR to explore how they balanced heritage with modern culture, why every design decision mattered and what it takes to build a brand that's ready for its next chapter. 🔗Read the finger lickin' good news on Yum.com: https://lnkd.in/gFeANE4f

    With the utmost gratitude to the Ride Forward Program by KBP Cares, I had the privilege of surprising a team member at one of my locations, with a brand-new electric bike today. 🚲 One of the many reasons I’m proud to be part of KBP Brands is the genuine commitment to supporting and caring for our people. Programs like Ride Forward truly make a difference, providing meaningful assistance to those who need it most and reinforcing the culture of compassion that defines our organization. Ian was incredibly grateful and absolutely thrilled with his new bike! Moments like this are what make leadership so rewarding. 💙 #KBPCARES #RideForward #KBPBrands #PeopleFirst #MakingADifference
