Pizza Hut Franchise

Family pizza restaurant

While college students in Wichita, Kansas, Frank and Dan Carney were approached by a family friend with the idea of opening a pizza parlor. Inspired, the brothers borrowed $600 from their mother, purchased secondhand equipment, and rented a small building on a busy intersection in their hometown. With that, the first Pizza Hut opened its doors in 1958. More than 40 years later, Pizza Hut has locations throughout the world serving its specialty pizzas.

Pizza Hut is owned by Yum! Brands, parent company of Taco Bell, KFC, A&W Restaurants, and Long John Silver’s.
