Pizza Hut, a global pizza chain known for its pan pizza and stuffed crusts, will be shuttering up to 250 locations during the first half of this year.
During a Feb. 4 earnings call, parent company Yum Brands Inc. announced the closures of “underperforming” locations globally, and said it expects Pizza Hut’s first-quarter core operating profit to decline about 15 percent as a result of costs tied to the restructuring.
