Jerry Buss, president of Aurora Huts LLC, purchased the majority of the Pizza Hut restaurants in the Pittsburgh area in March. He said in a statement that Pizza Hut foods will be sold in the Penguins' current home, Mellon Arena, when the 2007-2008 season kicks off "and will continue to follow them into their future home across the street."

Pizza Hut is a subsidiary of Louisville-based Yum Brands Inc. (NYSE: YUM), which also owns the Taco Bell, KFC, Long John Silver's and A&W All-American Foods brands.
