Berdasarkan hasil uji regresi terlihat bahwa terdapat pengaruh yang cukup kuat antara variabel brand image dengan variabel brand equity dan dimensi yang berpengaruh signifikan terhadap brand equity adalah afektif.Hipotesis penelitian yang disusun sebelumnya ternyata tidak semuanya dapat diterima. Dari hasil yang didapat ternyata dimensi kognitif tidak berpengaruh terhadap ekuitas merek Sehingga hipotesa yang menyatakan semakin tinggi kognitif semakin tinggi ekuitas merek tidak terbukti.Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa KFC sudah memiliki brand image yang positif di mata khalayaknya. Dimensi yang paling dominan dalam membentuk brand image KFC adalah afektif. Dimensi ini juga yang mempunyai pengaruh kuat terhadap pembentukan ekuitas merek KFC.
