Your Local Pizza Hut Has A New Owner In Massive Franchise Deal

The deal includes the Pizza Hut restaurants in Cantonment, Pensacola, Milton, Pace, Atmore, Flomaton and Brewton, a Flynn Restaurant Group spokesperson told NorthEscambia.com.
Flynn, which describes itself as the largest restaurant franchise operator in the country, including Applebee’s, Panera Bread, Taco Bell and Arby’s. With the purchase, Flynn will nearly double its restaurant count as a result of this acquisition, now owning and operating a combined total of 2,355 quick-service, fast casual and casual dining restaurants, generating $3.5 billion in sales and employing 73,000 people in 44 states.

They were probably talking about the one at 9-mile and Old Palafox. We use to stop in there frequently. It was convenient for us, but not always the cleanest…..but they also never seemed to have enough help. One or two people doing all the work during busy lunch time crowds.
Wonder if the buy-out is why they closed, or was it for another reason?
9 Mile & Chemstrand is and has always been take-out and delivery only. And it’s never had carpet. What are y’all talking about?
Good news for business, but I imagine many of the locations that have dining rooms will need a facelift. I remember the Nine Mile & Chemstrand location back when I was at UWF. Eww.
Cost cutting and decline in quality walk hand in hand.
Be it aerospace or pizza.
The one at 9 Mile and Chemstrand had gotten disgusting. The chairs were filthy and falling apart along with the carpet. I talked to the previous owner(s) one day when they just happened to be there and they seemed to care less. I hope it all comes back with success.
I hope they will renovate the one on 9th and Fairfield. I’s LOOOONG in the tooth.
I’m confused by “quick service” I’m not sure the last time I have been to a listed restaurant and had “quick service”…
Pizza Hut, KFC and Taco Bell all went to crap when PepsiCo bought them. Maybe this will fix them, but I doubt it.
