Major Pizza Chain is Closing Stores in Other States

It may appear that one of Michigan's favorite pizza joints is experiencing some financial troubles. However, it may only appear that way as the brand is experiencing growth despite recently closing multiple locations.

Back in 2020, this company closed hundreds of underperforming stores as its franchise owner declared bankruptcy, according to The U.S. Sun.

Will There Be More Pizza Hut Closures?

It's unclear if the company has any plans to close more restaurants that are underperforming.

The whole situation is very similar to what Burger King went through recently. They had a bunch of stores that were underperforming so they closed them. It's as simple as that.
