In 2005 parent company of Rostik's, Rosinter, became a franchisee of KFC with an option for Yum! Brands to buy out the franchise. First restaurant under Rostik's-KFC co-branding (which includes redrawn version of the mascot in a style similar to KFC's logo during that time) was opened in April 2006.
In July 2010, Yum! Brands bought out the franchise from Rosinter.
