Businesses are increasingly choosing Texas as their new base, with Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) being the latest to announce its relocation to the state. Commissioner Sid Miller expressed his pride in welcoming KFC to Texas, joining other major companies like Charles Schwab Corporation, Chevron, Elon Musk’s X (formerly Twitter), and SpaceX. "Businesses across the nation are choosing Texas as their destination for many reasons. Above all, no state is better for business than the Lone Star State," said Miller.
The commissioner highlighted that such moves bring valuable jobs and prosperity to Texas's economy. He also encouraged KFC to participate in the state's GO TEXAN program once they complete their headquarters transition. "These moves bring valuable jobs and prosperity to our already thriving statewide economy," he stated.
Miller added a light-hearted note by suggesting that "Texas Fried Chicken has a nice ring to it." The announcement reflects Texas's appeal as a hub for businesses seeking growth opportunities.
