The Origin Of "PIZZAHUT" And The Red Roof

The legendary world pizza restaurant "Pizza Hut" has entered the Chinese market for 10 years.

And some of its legendary stories are still unknown.

People may not think that the birth of pizza hut is due to the encouragement of a landlady.

40 years ago, the founder of pizza hut, Carney brothers, was still at University in Kansas, and went to work in a grocery store opened by his parents at night and on weekends.

There was a pub next to the grocery store. The landlady of the pub was too noisy for the drinkers. She encouraged Carney brothers to open a pizza restaurant there during the day's chat.

The Carney brothers were moved, and borrowed $600 from their mother to embark on the path of entrepreneurship.

At that time, the restaurant was very small, with only 25 seats, and the original signboard area could only accommodate 9 letters.

Since it is pizza restaurant, then "PIZZA" (pizza) has become an indispensable part of the restaurant name, so that there are 3 empty spaces in the English alphabet.

Which three letters are suitable?

A relative stood at the door of the shop and looked at it vertically, and casually said, "the appearance of a restaurant is like a hut."

The word "PIZZA HUT" was born, and the red roof has become a unique symbol of pizza hut.

Carney and his brothers took pains to create a comfortable and comfortable place for the narrow space.

The two brothers are making fresh delicious pizza every day, warmly entertaining guests.

40 years later, pizza hut has become the world's first pizza chain restaurant.

Since 1968, Pizza Hut opened its first foreign branch in Canada, and it has been in France, Australia, Britain, Finland, Brazil, Russia and China.

There are more than 12300 branches in more than 90 countries and regions.

Pizza Hut entered the Chinese market in 1990, and has opened nearly 40 restaurants, favored by Chinese consumers.
