Pizza Hut is to shut 68 restaurants after the company behind its 海角视频 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.
DC London Pie, the firm running Pizza Hut鈥檚 海角视频 dine-in restaurants, appointed administrators from corporate finance firm FTI on Monday. It comes less than a year after the business had itself bought the chain鈥檚 restaurants from insolvency.
On Monday, American hospitality giant Yum! Brands, which owns the global Pizza Hut business, said it has now bought the 海角视频 restaurant operation in a pre-pack administration deal. The rescue deal will save 64 sites and secure the future of 1,277 workers.
Nicolas Burquier, managing director of Pizza Hut Europe and Canada, said: 鈥淭his 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.鈥
The administration comes around six weeks after HMRC filed a winding up petition against DC London Pie. DC London Pie was the company formed after Directional Capital, which operated franchises in Sweden and Denmark, snapped up 139 海角视频 restaurants from the previous 海角视频 franchisee Heart with Smart Limited in January of this year.
Administrators have revealed the locations of 68 restaurants which will close after the company behind its 海角视频 venues fell into administration.
