Pizza Hut to close 68 UK restaurants after falling into administration

Pizza Hut UK is to close 68 restaurants with the loss of 1,210 jobs after falling into administration.

DC London Pie Limited, which operates Pizza Hut’s UK restaurants, appointed FTI Consulting as administrators on Monday.

However, Pizza Hut’s global owner Yum! Brands has agreed to save 64 restaurants in the UK, preserving 1,276 jobs.

Pizza Hut is well known for its family-friendly dining and salad bar, but has been struggling in recent months and had previously gone into administration in January.
