Pizza Hut plans to close 250 U.S. restaurants in the first half of this year as its parent company considers a sale of the chain.

Yum Brands said Wednesday it’s targeting underperforming Pizza Hut restaurants in its system. Pizza Hut has more than 6,000 locations in the U.S.

Louisville, Kentucky-based Yum Brands said in November it was conducting a formal review of options for Pizza Hut, which has struggled with outdated stores and growing competition. The chain’s U.S. same-store sales, or sales at locations open at least a year, fell 5% last year, Yum said.

      Big food/corpo supplies companies all the way down. Sysco, US Foods, Sodexo, Ed Don, Uline. Almost everyone uses them, from chains to single unit small business restaurants.

        Worked as a wedding caterer in the Midwest for 10 years (at a couple different companies), literally every single food delivery was made through Sysco. Can hardly go a day without seeing one of their trucks on the road
