Pizza Hut Restaurants opens new Leeds store

Pizza Hut Restaurants announced that it is signing the lease for its first new restaurant in over five years.

Scheduled to open in the second half of 2017, the restaurant will be located in the new leisure extension of the White Rose development in Leeds, alongside the new, 11-screen Cineworld. Benefiting from an investment of over £1 million, it will feature the casual dining chain’s latest American inspired designs and will offer a cocktail bar and new menu innovations.

Development Director Mike Spencer said: “We are delighted to announce the signing of a new restaurant at the White Rose development. Since 2012 our focus has been on delivering the refurbishment programme for our existing portfolio and this marks a significant step in our growth strategy."

“We are now half way through refurbishing our entire estate, which has seen us create a new look and feel for every Hut. Already our strategy is paying off; the refurbished estate is playing a significant role in the success of our business, with Huts achieving up to 40% increase in sales growth and our recent results are testament to that.”
