Murcia, Thursday, March 4 - Pizza Hut continues to drive its expansion in Spain and begins the month of March with the opening of its first establishment in Murcia Capital, which becomes the 69th in Spain. In this way, the emblematic American brand, which already has another store in Cartagena, consolidates its presence in the Murcia region.

Pizza Hut is a brand that has a history of more than 60 years and today has become the leading brand of pizza worldwide with more than 18,700 stores in 113 markets. A brand that has always been characterized by its originality and its capacity for innovation, even being the first brand to take pizzas into space, and now lands for the first time in the city of Murcia.

A new establishment of 170 square meters, located in Plaza de los Camachos number 10 in Murcia, which will generate about 15 new jobs in the area, jobs that are added to those that the brand has already created throughout the country, more than 1,100, and that in the region amount to 30.

In Spain, Pizza Hut has 69 stores in almost all the Autonomous Communities. By geographical area, the Community of Madrid currently concentrates the largest number of Pizza Hut stores, where 23% of Pizza Hut stores in Spain are located, followed by the Basque Country and Catalonia, which have 10 and 7 stores, respectively.

Pizza Hut continues to grow thanks to an ambitious expansion plan, which aims to continue delivering the best American-style pizzas in every corner of the country. Now it arrives for the first time in the city of Murcia and Pizza Hut wants to celebrate it by launching a special offer for three weeks consisting of two medium pizzas at home for only 8,45€ each.

"The inauguration of this new establishment and the arrival of the brand for the first time in the city of Murcia demonstrates the consolidation of Pizza Hut in Spain, the growth of new clientele and the creation of employment, complying at all times with the high safety standards that the current circumstances require," said Antonio Remesal, Country Manager of Pizza Hut Spain.

Javier Pujante, franchisee of the new Pizza Hut store in Murcia adds that "it is exciting for me, after 13 years linked to Food Delivery Brands, to embark on this new stage and become the franchisee of the first Pizza Hut store in Murcia, thus contributing to the brand's expansion plan in the country" .

Contactless Delivery

Thanks to its history, innovation and international presence, Pizza Hut has a wide delivery experience which, currently and on the occasion of Covid-19, follows the No Contact delivery protocol.

Through this protocol, the brand's customers can place and pay for their orders through the Pizza Hut website or App. The delivery driver leaves the order at the customer's door and notifies them when they can pick it up, thus ensuring that there is no contact between them. This No Touch delivery protocol is also followed for in-store delivery so that customers can continue to enjoy their products safely thanks to strict hygiene measures, both in the preparation process and in the delivery of the order.
