March 17, 2011

Of Yum! Brands’ 1,530 units in Japan, 150 remain closed after last week’s earthquake/tsunami.

All Yum! restaurants in Japan are franchised.

According to EMoneyDaily, the company is experiencing low-single-digit profit exposure in the ravaged country.

A spokesperson said the franchisees are determining how quickly they’ll be able to reopen and that "things are fluid right now."
