The franchise owner has given up.
Nearly 130 Pizza Huts Risk Closing
127 Pizza Huts across the South and Midwest could close after the franchise owner has filed for bankruptcy.
15 locations in Indiana and Ohio have already closed.
EYM, the franchise group founded by former McDonald’s Mexico president Eduardo Diaz, owes Pizza Hut nearly $3 million and another $21 million to a backing bank.
EYM is blaming Pizza Hut for all of its issues, saying the pizza chain won’t keep up with changing consumer tastes by updating its menu.
