they have like 7000 locations in the US, as stated they are closing those larger sit down restaurants.
those stores likely have been trending downward anyways and this covid thing gives them an excuse to ax those.

it was, it has not kept up.
Dominoes is a good example of how to stay relevant. So much can be done from thier app and they have a solid online marketing plan. They also Don’t waste money pretending to be a reasturant (sit down)

That sucks. At least it is mostly dine-in locations. I would hate to have to go hunting for my pizza.

If it's chapter 11 or 13, they can come back. If it's a chapter 7, they're done for.

Too bad their pizza is the definition of mediocrity. If only they could that right...

Pizza Hut did not file bankruptcy lol
NPC International, a company that runs about 25% of pizza huts did.
They are selling 75% of their stores as part of it.
This is some franchise owning big company not handling their debt well... considering most of their Pizza Huts are something they think they can sell, doubt it even has to do with Pizza Hut's popularity at all. They are killing off the dine-in locations.. because during a pandemic those are likely a tough sell.

You want to know where KFC is surprisingly good? Thailand.
Granted any time I had it I was off my face, but that shit was sensational.

It's not cheap, and makes me physically ill from all the grease. There's a low bar to clear, and they just don't seem to even try.
We have about a dozen different local places around here that cost either the same, or like $2 more while being 100x better. We literally have a gas station chain with better pizza, Casey's in the midwest. We have a local place that has had $5 pizzas since the 90s that is much, much better.
Whatever they're doing in terms of actually making the food is clearly wrong. Pretty sure it's all frozen dough, and the balance between cheese, meat and dough is off in some critical way, because it's unbelievably greasy. I don't know if they coat every pizza in oil before running it in the oven or what.
Even if you want to grab a quick lunch, almost every pizza place sells large individual slices instead of those dumb 4 inch pizzas with nothing on it.

Their quality has gone down in the last 15 years that's for sure.

Man I hope the one in my city isn't a sit down one. It's the only chain pizza place I am willing to order a few times a year. Really don't want to live in a world where Dominos is the only option for me, that stuff tastes like the cardboard it's carried in. Still love the Pizza hut Deep Dish pizza and breadsticks.

I know a corporation but it still makes me feel bad for them and very sad overall hearing things like this.

Ever since little ceasers started doing stuffed crust I haven't been there.
It is good pizza but expensive compared to other places

But I thought every anti-corporation person thinks every big business has billions to spare? As you can see that myth only applies to some companies. The people who will get affected the most are the low wage front line workers.
Sucks that Pizza Hut failed. I know it's greasy shit but got to say it tastes good.
