According to ABC7Chicago, Pizza Hut is closing hundreds of locations across the United States while its parent company Yum! Brands continues a strategic review of the struggling brand. However, a specific list of the affected locations has not been released. Currently, there are over 10 Pizza Hut locations in Chicago, so we will have to wait and see if any near you are impacted.
