While further strengthening its layout in big cities, Pizza Hut began to make a big push into small and medium-sized cities in China. It is understood that Pizza Hut divides the China market into four levels: Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou and other big cities belong to the first-tier market; Nanjing, Hangzhou, Hefei, Jinan and other capital cities belong to the second-tier market; Suzhou, Changzhou, Wenzhou, Ningbo, Jinhua, Huzhou and Jiaxing are third-tier markets. County-level cities such as Yuyao and Changshu belong to the fourth-tier market. Tong Ruoming, general manager of Pizza Hut's East China market, told the media a few days ago that with the rapid rise of small and medium-sized cities in China and the remarkable improvement of residents' consumption level, Pizza Hut began to extend its market expansion to small and medium-sized cities, especially the "fourth-tier market" represented by county-level cities, in order to improve the coverage and penetration rate of Pizza Hut in China market.

Among them, there are 69 chain stores in East China market, distributed in 15 cities. It is revealed that by the end of this year, Pizza Hut will have 211 chain stores in China.
