KFC is a major force in the fast food industry. Its 21,000 worldwide locations put the chain, best known for its fried-chicken buckets, in the same league as industry giant McDonald's (NYSE: MCD) and its 36,000 restaurants.
While you can buy Mickey D's simply by purchasing the stock, you can't invest as directly in KFC, because it's not a standalone public business. Instead, to benefit from growth in this quick-service restaurant chain you'd have to buy shares in its corporate parent, Yum! Brands (NYSE: YUM).
