Pizza Hut changes some stores to TheHut

Nitz · Jun 22, 2009

Pizza Hut is slicing the "pizza" from its boxes and some store signs. The fast food chain will now brand some stores as simply "The Hut."

However, contrary to earlier reports, the iconic chain won't be changing its name, a Pizza Hut spokesman said Friday. The boxes and some store signs will say "The Hut." Others will retain the Pizza Hut name.

Pizza Hut has recently expanded its menu beyond pizza to include pasta, giving it some reason to alter its branding. Media and advertising trade publication MediaWeek characterized the name change as an attempt to transform its stores into hip hangouts. There are more than 10,000 Pizza Huts worldwide

Anyone think the name change is lame? :evil: :bomb:

Pizza Hut sounds so much better than the Hut o.o
Should Burger King change its name to Salad King...or IceCream King?
