Yum!, which already runs more than 800 KFC and Pizza Hut outlets in China, will open a 460-square metre Taco Bell restaurant on Nanjing Road.
The company – formerly Tricon Restaurants – says that it intends to expand Taco Bell across China, but will base the speed of the roll out on the success of the Shanghai operation.
