Yorkshire Global Restaurants

Yorkshire Global Restaurants was an fast food corporation that owned A&W and Long John Silver's. Its headquarters were in Lexington, Kentucky.

History
In 1999, A&W merged with Long John Silver's, as a result a new company called Yorkshire Global Restaurants was formed.

In 2000, Yorkshire Global Restaurants agreed to test multi branded locations with Louisville, Kentucky based Tricon Global Restaurants, owner of the KFC, Pizza Hut, and Taco Bell chains.

In 2002, Yorkshire Global Restaurants was purchased out-straight by Tricon Global Restaurants, and A&W and Long John Silver's became part of Tricon. That same year, Tricon was renamed Yum! Brands.

In 2011, Yum! Brands reversed its merger with Yorkshire, when Yum! sold A&W and Long John Silver's to private investors.
