Yum! Restaurants India, part of Yum! Brands Inc that owns KFC and Pizza Hut chains, is planning an expansion programme.
For this reason, the company is eyeing smaller towns to double its outlets in the Indian sub-continent to 1,000 by 2015.
The restaurant chain recently opened its 500th store of its third brand, Taco Bell, in Bangalore, and is planning to expand its foothold in tier-II and tier-II cities.
Yum! Restaurants India is presently operating 500 stores in 55 cities.
