I'm way behind the curve on this, but it bears mentioning. Last year one of the largest Pizza Hut franchise owners in the system went bankrupt; the number of open restaurants in their territory had steadily fallen in the past few years. I remember them being based in Tennessee for a number of years but they relocated their corporate HQ to Kansas at some point.

A number of their units were sold to GC Pizza Hut of Mt. Kisco, NY, including the Laconia, NH PH which itself closed last October

Pizza Hut was founded in Kansas, and was for a time run out of Yum! Brands headquarters
in Louisville, Kentucky.  Current corporate address they have listed is in Plano, Texas.

GC Pizza Hut, which took over a number of units from the bankrupt Capital Pizza Huts last year, is the franchisee behind the mass closure in CNY. The photo below is of their circa 1974 PH in DeWitt, NY, which is the oldest of the units that closed. As you can see from the peeling roof paint, this one has been neglected for quite some time. Click on the photo for more info on the story.

GC Pizza Hut says the closed PH locations in CNY had been "neglected" and that new units are on the way

On June 25th, Pizza Hut resurrected their classic logo:

I was across from the Bridgeville, PA dine-in Pizza Hut on a Saturday night around 8 PM.
The parking lot was absolutely empty!  I thought that perhaps the location had closed, but
no, there were lights on and employees inside.  Just not a single customer.

You're not the only one. This isn't uncommon for many to operate while having deserted parking lots.

Pizza Hut has announced that it will close up to 500 dine-in locations.

Not surprised after seeing that empty parking lot on a Saturday night.
The future of the company is apparently in delivery and take-out.

All Pizza Hits in Southern Bucks County , Berks County, and Philadelphia, PA are temporary closed since 10/11/19

That's crazy, I know the one by me in Falls Township closed last month for good, apparently one by oxford valley did as well (and a worker said one in newtown did too)

[Everything Community]

Connecticut's last surviving Pizza Hut in East Hartford, CT (along Silver Lane) with dine-in service closed in December 2017.

That location was most notable for a fire that occured back in February 2002. First vacant for seven years following the fire, it reopened as Pizza Hut in 2009 by adding new signs, new paint and such though keeping the 70's mansard roof building in place.

Still looks the same today!

The sit-down Pizza Hut in Bridgeville, PA closed last year and was quickly torn down and replaced with a Bank of America branch office.  Pizza Hut then opened a take-out only location in a nearby shopping plaza.  Sit-down locations still exist on Poplar St. in Green Tree, and along PA Route 51 near the Brentwood Towne Center in Brentwood and in West Mifflin in the shadow of the closed Century III Mall.

Fifteen Pizza Hut locations in Indiana abruptly shut their doors in the midst of a legal dispute between the franchisee and Pizza Hut corporate.

Up to 142 other Pizza Hut locations operated by this franchisee in various states may close if things between the two do not go well.
