Pizza Hut is bringing back the ‘90s!
Tim Sparks, owner of several Pizza Hut franchises, just had an idea so brilliant, it’ll transport you through time! According to Vice, the businessman, who serves as president of private restaurant management company Deland Corporation, has quietly been restoring several Pizza Hut locations to their ‘90s flair, packed with gaming systems, booth-style seating, salad bars, iconic red cups, checkered tablecloths, stained-glass lamps, and even the establishment’s famous Book It reading program!
@bradleyblackburn We visited a Pizza Hut in Pennsylvania that takes you back in time. Met the franchise owner who thinks classic restaurants can bring back memories and help families today return to simpler times. #pizzahut #news @cbsnews
OMG!
Sparks is calling the select restaurants, which are meant to encourage family gatherings for sit-down meals, “Pizza Hut Classics.” How brilliant! According to Vice, Sparks owns 93 Pizza Hut franchises, and has already converted 38 into Classics.
@80s.90s.00s.nostalgia Led by Daland Corporation president Tim Sparks, Pizza Hut is bringing back their iconic ’80s and ’90s style with “Classics” restaurants featuring red beverage cups, original light fixtures, jukebox, table cloths, and even has the salad bar. So far he has purchased 80 Pizza Huts. There are plans in place to buy more. Though, he has said acquiring some vintage decor, such as the old light fixtures, is getting more difficult as time passes. I would love to visit one of these! #80s #90s #pizzahut #oldschool #nostalgia

A real-deal retro @Pizza Hut with the lunch buffet, the red cups, the booths, the whole vibe. It felt like stepping straight back into the 90s in the best way possible. #CoreMemory If you’re a nostalgic Millennial or Gen X, this is the road trip your soul needs. Trust me ????????
