TOKYO — KFC Japan plans to increase its footprint by 30% over the next five years, expanding to up to 1,700 stores by fiscal 2030.

The company will leverage the financial strength of U.S. investment firm Carlyle Group, which bought KFC Japan last year. The food chain plans to open a spree of outlets in the three major urban areas of Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya, places where it previously had a weak presence.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
