Pizza Hut announces 100th franchise restaurant

Pizza Hut recently announced the opening of its 100th franchise restaurant, located in Aberdeen's Holburn Street. Owned by Ultra Catering, which employs 100 staff in four restaurants in Aberdeen and Dundee, the new franchise has created 40 jobs in the local community. Ultra plans to expand further and is currently considering Perth and Inverness as possible locations for new stores next year.

The company was also recently named as Pizza Hut's 'Franchisee of the Year' at an award ceremony earlier this year. Ultra won the award for its consistently high standards, including customer service and sales performance.

'In just four years of franchising, we have reached the 100th franchise store, which is a great example of how we have worked in partnership with local entrepreneurs in such a short space of time,' says Pizza Hut's Franchise Business Manager, Wayne Large. 'Successful relationships with local businesses have helped Pizza Hut to become the fastest-growing pizza company in the UK.'
