Why did KFC relocate its Headquarters?

Even if we're surprised that KFC changed its Headquarters from a different state, they have a reason to do so.

Yum Brands, KFC's mother company moved from Louisville, Kentucky to Plano, Texas because of Texas's lower business taxes and business-friendly policies.

But don't worry folks! Because Yum Brands will still operate from Kentucky—their KFC Foundation, and that KFC will still operate in Kentucky!

Even if KFC relocates in a different state, we can all agree that their fried chicken is the go-to food whenever we're hungry, from when we were kids until now that we're an adult. Yes, KFC changed their HQ but they will always remain home to all of us.
