Seven New York Pizza Huts close
September 25, 2008
The Buffalo News: Seven troubled Pizza Hut locations in Western New York closed their doors Thursday after experiencing years of financial difficulty, a company executive said.
"These have been chronic losers, some of them for over 20 years," said Walt Ruta, director of operations for Hospitality West LLC, which owns all seven of the shuttered restaurants, as well as 24 others.
Each restaurant employed 15 to 20 people, all of whom will be offered employment elsewhere in the company.
