Pizza Hut: Future of Peterborough restaurant on Boongate revealed as chain says which 68 branches will close
The Boongate branch of Pizza Hut in Peterborough will not close as part of the chain’s announcement that 68 restaurants will close across the country.
The affected outlets are part of DC London Pie Limited, a franchisee operating Pizza Hut’s dine-in arm, which has now fallen into administration. It puts 1,210 workers at risk of redundancy.
However, it has been revealed today that the Peterborough branch in Boongate is not among the 68.
FTI Consulting has been appointed to oversee the administration process.
The announcement came less than a year after the business was rescued by investment firm Directional Capital, which stepped in following the collapse of its previous operator, Heart with Smart Limited, that owed nearly £40 million in debt.
But despite efforts to stabilise the chain, DC London Pie faced mounting financial pressure, culminating in a winding-up petition from HMRC last month over unpaid tax.
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.”
Pizza Hut has now revealed the locations of every restaurant closing, as reported by GB News.
