Less than three weeks after completing its $2.7 billion acquisition of Pizza Hut from Yum! Brands, LongRange Capital is exploring a whole-business securitization: a financing structure that would bundle the brand’s franchise fee and royalty streams into bonds sold to institutional investors, Bloomberg reported on September 18, 2026.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The LongRange Capital acquisition of franchise brand<\/a> Pizza Hut<\/strong> closed in early September 2026, transferring ownership of one of the world’s largest pizza chains from Yum! Brands after a deal announced earlier this year. Pizza Hut operates approximately 18,000 restaurants globally<\/strong>, the vast majority under franchise agreements<\/a>. Bloomberg cited people familiar with the matter but did not name an executive or confirm a timeline for the proposed securitization.<\/p>\n\n\n
