KFC has been closing down restaurants due to poor sales over 300 closed this year. They probably wanted to much money and tested the waters. If you ever deliver there you probably wouldn’t eat there. So much competition with chicken now a days. I’m sure Food Service will have some good news soon
AFH focused are we. Plan new accounts just went up by 3700 medium to high volume accounts for the FS teams. Oh by the way you’re needing to do it with less people. It ours to build.
Comical❗️
The commisary/ftn business is known to take a loss and that is expected, but it's not about profit/loss with Ftn....it's about visability and the logo being plastered all over the place. Way to go team!
This story is all over the financial networks and KFC explaining why Coke is the better choice. Not good. Ultimately it is a small financial impact to the company, but the ramifications of losing this go beyond just this deal.
Is this considered a good news, why the stock is up?
Wow, what is it gonna take to get these clowns at the top fired? They can’t keep blaming execution, top down decisions impact execution.
Just sell both sodas in stores.
I’m sure finance was very friendly to help put together a deal. They treat you like trash when you’re going through this process with them. They probably lost the deal for us.
This is what servant leadership and driving results is all about
@ae So Athina can hire more consultants??
Not just a loss of a concept. This is a loss of faith in Pepsi as a partner. Marriott and KFC both 35 year plus relationships saying they need KO to revitalize their businesses. Ramon and Ram are going down as LOSERS, not winners.
It shows the imbecile leadership we have that has destroyed this company.
Who is at fault? Heads should roll…..
If Taco Bell is next and my Baja Blast goes with it, I’m escalating this immediately… right after I pound my daily Beefy 5 layer burritos
First they take away my Pepsi, now I find out my KAM is still assigning me KFC priorities. I’m calling HR
A Coke with my bucket of KFC?? Absolutely not. I’ve been washing down 4,000 calories of fried chicken with a Pepsi 2 liter like an AMERICAN
KFC is switching to Coke and I just know somebody at Pepsi is still loading them Q1 priorities in Savvy
That is bad.
