Americana Restaurants International Plc, the Middle East operator of KFC and Pizza Hut, has cut almost 100 jobs in an internal restructuring and amid a consumer boycott of its brands after the start of the Israel-Hamas war.
The firm, which is listed in Abu Dhabi and Riyadh, eliminated the roles after conducting “structure reviews to align our resources with our strategic goals and growth aspirations,” according to a representative for the company.
