Pizza Hut to Close 250 U.S. Locations as Yum! Brands Reassesses Future

Yum! Brands will shutter 250 underperforming Pizza Hut locations in the U.S. during the first half of 2026 as part of a broader strategic review that could include selling the brand. The closures affect U.S. units and come amid weaker domestic performance, though international results have been stronger. Pizza Hut ended 2025 with about 19,974 global stores (a net decline of 251), with planned international expansion in 2026, while peers like Taco Bell and Domino’s posted gains.

Solo Dining Goes Mainstream as Menus Pivot for One

Solo dining is accelerating: solo orders account for 47% of fast-food visits (up from 31% in 2021), one-person reservations at full-service restaurants rose 22% in Q3 2025, and about 70% of solo diners skip discounts. Yum Brands notes menus are being redesigned for individuals, with personal-size pizzas appealing to Gen Z and millennials, signaling a shift toward personalization even as sharing remains common and solo bookings still represent a minority overall. The trend points to more customization in 2026.
