Pizza Hut

The first-ever Pizza Hut was opened in 1958 in Kansas by Frank and Dan Carney with only $600. They decided on the name after discovering that the sign they had could only feature up to 9 letters in total. They wanted the word pizza in it and eventually, they decided that Pizza Hut would do the trick. At first, they sold a 13-inch pizza as well as a 10-inch pizza. The thicker “Pan Pizza” was only introduced in 1980. Today, they sell everything from pizza to chicken wings and even pasta.
