KFC operator in Thailand explores sale of business -sources

SINGAPORE : Restaurants Development Company is exploring the sale of its KFC franchise business in Thailand, valued at roughly $300 million, as revenue rebounds with a recovery in Southeast Asia's second-largest economy, three sources aware of the matter said.

Restaurants Development was considering the sale of its KFC business in 2020 but the process was shelved due to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, two of the sources said.The revival of the sale comes with a pick up in Thai consumer confidence in June, for the first time in six months, boosted by improved economic activity following an easing of COVID-19 curbs.

Its KFC business is expected to grow further over the next few quarters on the back of the economic recovery and easing of travel restrictions, one of the sources said. Thai Beverage declined to comment and there was no response from Central Group to a request for comment.
