Why did Frank and Dan open pizza hut?
It started their life in 1958 when Frank and Dan Carney opened the first Hut in Wichita, Kansas. The first Pizza Hut restaurant was only small, with enough room for 25 seats; the restaurant sign only had space for nine letters. Frank and Dan wanted to have ‘Pizza’ in the name, which left space for just 3 more letters. Because the building looked like a hut… Pizza Hut was born! Fifteen years later, the first UK restaurant opened. Since then they have grown to become the biggest Pizza Company on the planet. They’re the UK’s leading pizza restaurant and delivery chain too, with over 600 outlets across the country. They are part of Yum Restaurants International (who also own KFC, Taco Bell, Long John Silver’s, A & W and Pizza Hut Worldwide).
