Beloved Pizza Hut Closes Restaurants in New Jersey
A beloved pizza brand has closed several of its New Jersey locations. According to 94.3 The Point, many large food chains are trying to stay alive by offering take-out options, and Pizza Hut is the latest to see some closures in New Jersey restaurants, per the outlet. One nostalgic journalist returned to her roots in Toms River, only to find that her old stomping grounds—the local Pizza Hut—had closed. "Contractors on the ground confirmed that Pizza Hut on Route 37 is indeed no more. All that's left are the memories of birthday parties, greasy fingers, and the salad bar." In January 2025, Nation's Restaurant News reported that the franchise would sell all 127 Illinois, Indiana, Georgia, South Carolina, and Wisconsin stores after filing for bankruptcy in July 2024. "EYM's bankruptcy filing listed two creditors: Manufacturers Bank, which it owes more than $21 million, and Pizza Hut itself, which is owed just under $2.25 million," the outlet continued. The news came on the heels of KFC selling some locations in Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin. In August 2024, Taste of Country reported that 25 KFC locations closed "rather abruptly, with no notice." Both KFC and Pizza Hut are owned by the franchise EYM Chicken. In an email obtained by Taste of Country, they wrote that they "appreciate the patronage of our loyal guests." Red Lobster and Jack in the Box are other chains that have closed in recent weeks. The former shut down 187 restaurants after filing for bankruptcy in May 2024, per The Street.
