Pizza Hut restaurant in Chesterfield remains open despite company entering administration – as full list of locations set to shut down is revealed

The company operating Pizza Hut’s UK restaurants entered administration yesterday (Monday, October 20) – with 68 branches set to close.

The Pizza Hut dine-in branch at Chesterfield‘s Ravenside Retail Park, however, is not among the locations that are set to shut their doors across the UK.

DC London Pie Limited, the firm that owns Pizza Hut’s dine-in restaurants across the UK, appointed FTI Consulting as administrators on Monday.

A deal has been agreed with Yum! Brands, Pizza Hut’s global owner, to save 64 dine-in locations. This will protect around 2,259 roles, with members of staff being transferred over – but over 1,200 employees could be set to lose their jobs.

Pizza Hut will also close 11 delivery sites as part of a restructuring, but the majority of their takeaway and delivery branches will not be impacted.

In a statement released yesterday, Nicolas Burquier, Managing Director for Pizza Hut’s international markets, said the acquisition was “a targeted effort to safeguard our guest experience and protect jobs where possible.”

The company was hit with a winding-up petition from HMRC last month over unpaid tax. This comes less than a year after the business was rescued following the collapse of its previous owner, Heart with Smart Limited - which owned nearly £40 million in debt.
