Overheard a KFC employee talking to the banker about a debit card issued to him by his employer KFC whose funds are drawn on an Iranian bank. He was having trouble using it. He further stated that most KFCs and Wendy's are now owned by Iranian interests. I do notice Wendy's making dramatic changes to the structures at some of their restaurants. Does anyone have any knowledge of this?
As far as I know, KFC is owned by Yum Brands, as well as Pizza Hut and Taco Bell - but not Wendys. They're a company that's been in business for years in the US, I used to work for them and know a few people that still work for them. Never heard anything about Iranian interests and doubt that that's true. Maybe his employer has a franchise and the rest are rumors? That doesn't even sound legal. He needs to contact somebody, legal or the labor board or something!
Yum is a spinoff of Pepsi. Wendy's at one time had the franchise rights for Tim Horton's its a totally separate company from Ym.
What does all of this have to do with Detroit?
This is the man who owns Triarc, which is the company that owns Wendy:

As of 2008, which is about the time it started to go downhill, now that I think about it. It's AWFUL now, and I don't know who to blame so I'll blame Triarc! lolQuote:

Or about Target being based in France. I guess the people who believe that one are the ones that pronounce it 'Tarjay'Quote:

The largest Wendy's franchise, Tar Heel Capital in North Carolina, is run by an American [[Jim Furmann) and was founded in America in 1977.
As for KFC, I know Kazi MAnagement [[owner is Zubair Kazi) owns many stores in this state, but they may be selling them off as they go through a Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding. I'm not sure is Zubair Kazi is Iranian though, and the company is based in America.
Even so, I still don't see the conspiracy. Besides, that still doesn't change the fact that the food is toxic, since they likely use GM products, amongst other things.
Best laxative I know of.Quote:

If they used Ford products, would that be better?Quote:

The CEO of the Islamic bank had made comments some considered controversial but he is no longer with the Bank. Snopes offered no support for the opinion that any owners of Caribou had ever financed terrorists.Quote:
