National Pizza Chain to Close Locations in Palmetto State

Pizza Hut is shutting down several restaurants, but the number's expected to grow and stretch into the Palmetto State.

The company abruptly shuttered 15 locations, but the reasons behind the closures are different than other chains. Pizza Hut shut down the stores due to an ongoing financial dispute with one of their biggest franchisees. The franchisee operates 144 Pizza Hut restaurants across five states and they're being sued by the pizza company over millions of dollars in alleged unpaid bills.

Reports say another 129 Pizza Huts owned by franchisee group EYM will close in South Carolina, Georgia, Illinois, and Wisconsin.
