Pizza Hut Restaurants has unveiled a £237,000 restaurant makeover at its Wigan Hut, creating 10 new jobs for the area.
The re-opening is part of a multi-million pound nationwide redesign programme by the casual dining company. A brand new, exciting menu will also be rolled out in the revamped Hut that includes chicken wings, Kentucky style BBQ ribs and new additions to its famous warm cookie dough.
All of Pizza Hut Restaurants’ famous icons – including the Ice Cream Factory, Salad Station and Buffet – still take centre stage, but form part of the new, interactive design that includes a central preparation station offering a range of desserts including warm cookie dough, and a self-service soft drinks hub allowing guests to refill drinks at their leisure.
Restaurant Manager Sharon O’Grady said: “We are all so impressed by the new makeover. Now the Hut is much more fun and vibrant with cool wall paintings and a funky new lighting scheme. It’s definitely the perfect place for both families and groups of friends to enjoy a meal.”
L-R Shannon Bradley , Liam Potts , Sharon O’Grady (manager) , Jayne Hughes and Sarah Tinston.Hut Team Member Olivia Lancaster-Pierce, added: “The new Hut looks amazing! We’re all super excited to show it off to our guests and hear what they think of all of the new design elements. Plus, we’ve introduced a new menu to shake things up. The S’Mores Cookie Dough is really tasty and guests should definitely try milkshakes too!”
The investment in Wigan is part of a broader £60 million refurbishment and restructuring programme for the business, secured through private equity investment from Rutland Partners in late 2012.
