Pizza Hut

Pizza Hut was founded in 1958 by brothers Dan and Frank Carney in their hometown of Wichita, Kansas.

A friend suggested opening a pizza parlour, they agreed that the idea could prove successful, and they borrowed $600 from their mother to start a business with partner John Bender.

Renting a small building at 503 South Bluff in downtown Wichita and purchasing second hand equipment to make pizzas, the Carneys and Bender opened the first "Pizza Hut" restaurant; on opening night, they gave pizza away to encourage community interest.
They chose the name "Pizza Hut" since the sign they purchased only had enough space for nine characters and spaces. Additional restaurants were opened, with the first franchise unit opening in 1959 in Topeka, Kansas. The original Pizza Hut building was later relocated to the Wichita State University campus.

Kout was one of the first in the Middle East to procure the Pizza Hut Franchise in 1982 and has since built a close relationship with the Pizza Hut Group YUM. For over 3 decades, Kout has utilized astute market strategies to insure that Pizza Hut is number 1 for pizza in Kuwait. Kout now operates 61 Pizza Hut stores in Kuwait.
