The epidemic has a great impact on the American economy. Because of the decrease of consumers, many large enterprises in consumer industries, such as catering and clothing, have declared bankruptcy one after another, and the number has reached more than 411. Pizza Hut is obviously hard to escape from the economic downturn in the United States, and 311 Pizza Hut stores plan to close permanently. This number is almost a quarter of Pizza Hut stores, and the remaining stores in the United States will be sold. NPC International, the largest distributor in charge of Pizza Hut marketing in the United States, once submitted an application for bankruptcy protection to the court, because the physical stores affected by the epidemic now have little profit and the company itself has huge debts. Other catering companies in the United States are not much better. More than 21,111 restaurants have closed down, and nearly 61% have chosen to close permanently. It can be said that American catering companies suffered extremely heavy losses in this epidemic. Most consumers don't choose to eat in stores, which leads to a sharp decline in the turnover of in-house food and a gradual increase in the proportion of take-away. Therefore, Pizza Hut is also making industrial adjustment, and may need to increase its investment in take-away. Because NPC is only one of Pizza Hut's marketers in the United States, Pizza Hut is a subsidiary of Yum!, and the decline of Pizza Hut stores operated by NPC has actually been revealed. In recent years, in the market competition, Pizza Hut has been robbed of some market share by its rivals, and its turnover has declined. Then there was an emergency of COVID-19 epidemic, and the operating conditions of Pizza Hut's stores were not ideal, and the disinfection work of the stores under the epidemic also cost a lot of money, so the closure of Pizza Hut stores in the United States was foreseeable. The permanent closure of 311 Pizza Hut stores should only be caused by the bankruptcy of NPC company and the adjustment of Pizza Hut's industrial structure. Later, Pizza Hut also said that it would hand over the Pizza Hut stores it sold to other operators with stronger ability. Therefore, the so-called selling problem of other American stores in Pizza Hut stores is that NPC company is selling all its own management rights to operate Pizza Hut stores. The permanent closure plan of 311 Pizza Hut stores in the United States should be implemented soon. After all, the longer it takes, the worse it will be.
