Restaurant Brands Franchise UpdateEarlier in 2010, the board announced its intention to franchise the Regional Pizza Hut outlets. This will encompass approximately 35 stores from Kerikeri in the North, to Invercargill in the south. This strategy is based on the board’s belief that the regional stores are better suited to owner operators who can more effectively promote the Pizza Hut brand and themselves as franchisees in these smaller towns and regions. RBL is currently working on three more conditional sales for Dunedin North, Dunedin South and Rangiora. These three sites are planned to be operational by year end. Current enquiry levels are high and we expect more sales in the New Year.
