KFC outlets to reopen as Rostic's in Russia after brand's exit

Russia will see former KFC restaurants reopen as Rostic's, the revival of a brand born soon after the collapse of the Soviet Union. This comes after KFC owner Yum! Brands finalised its exit from Russia last week. KFC first partnered with Rostic's in 2005 before buying it out. Yum! Brands is transferring master franchise rights to Smart Service.
