In a Facebook post, franchisee Ebony Prescott, informed customers that the decision to close the dine-in restaurant had been “forced” upon them, and “is a consequence of the redevelopment of the Green Hills shopping centre.”
However, Stockland Green Hills centre manager Chris Travers has clarified that “Stockland does not own the Pizza Hut site or have any control or influence over its lease arrangements.”
Ms Prescott, who owns the store with Darren MacClure, said they intended to renovate and continue the business in it’s current location, but that they were given two weeks notice to vacate.
“This closure signals the end of an era as there is no possibility of a dine in Pizza Hut being rebuilt in the area,” the post said.
