The company behind Pizza Hut’s UK restaurants has fallen into administration
Pizza Hut has disclosed the locations of 68 restaurants set to close after the company behind its UK venues fell into administration. This will also result in the closure of 11 delivery sites as part of a restructuring plan, putting 1,210 workers at risk of redundancy.
DC London Pie, the firm running Pizza Hut’s UK dine-in restaurants under a franchise agreement, appointed administrators from corporate finance firm FTI on Monday. American hospitality giant Yum! Brands, which owns the global Pizza Hut business, said it has now purchased the UK restaurant operation in a pre-pack administration deal, saving 64 sites.
Nicolas Burquier, managing director of Pizza Hut Europe and Canada, said: “This targeted acquisition aims to safeguard our guest experience and protect jobs where possible. Our immediate priority is operational continuity at the acquired locations and supporting colleagues through the transition.”
Pizza Hut isn’t the only iconic high street name facing fresh closures. Earlier this month, tween accessories brand Claire’s Accessories announced the closure of 145 stores across the UK and Ireland following its acquisition by investment group Modella Capital.
Last month, massive US coffee shop brand Starbucks announced plans to shutter a number of UK stores as part of a restructure. Nonetheless, Starbucks is still set to open 80 brand-new locations across the UK as part of their plans.
Here is the full list Pizza Hut locations set for closure.
