Six Scottish Pizza Hut restaurants among 68 set to close

Six Pizza Hut restaurants in Scotland are among 68 that will close after the company behind its UK venues fell into administration.

It will also shut 11 delivery sites as part of a restructuring, which will put 1,210 workers at risk of redundancy.

It has now been revealed that six stores across Dundee, Edinburgh, Falkirk, and Inverness are among those set to shut.

No delivery sites in Scotland are affected.

It comes after DC London Pie, the firm running Pizza Hut’s UK dine-in restaurants under a franchise deal, 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 bought the UK restaurant operation in a pre-pack administration deal, saving 64 sites.
