Pizza Hut Closes 15 Locations Amid Major Franchisee Dispute — 129 More at Risk of Closing
A significant number of Pizza Hut restaurants face closure due to an ongoing financial dispute with one of its major franchisees.
As reported by Daily Mail, a total of 150 restaurants are set to close, with an additional 129 across Illinois, Georgia, South Carolina, and Wisconsin on the brink of shutting down as part of the dispute.
The closure wave began unexpectedly in Northwest Indiana, where several Pizza Hut outlets ceased operations. Signs on the doors read “location closed” or “We apologize for any inconvenience. We are temporarily closed,” NWI.com first reported.
Pizza Hut’s website also listed locations in Merrillville, Crown Point, Hobart, Lowell, Cedar Lake, Winfield, Valparaiso, Chesterton, Portage and Michigan City as closed.
