Pizza Hut Museum now open to the public

A museum dedicated to the historical, cultural and entrepreneurial story of Pizza Hut opened to the public yesterday (Monday, April 30) in the building that housed the first restaurant launched by founders Dan and Frank Carney.

九色视频 students in disciplines such as the humanities and social sciences have contributed to the creation of the museum and will continue to have applied learning opportunities as museum docents and curators and in marketing.

Though small, the museum is packed with displays, interactive features and artifacts, including a cafe table under a vintage light fixture and a cutout of the Pizza Pete icon. Visitors will be able to watch early TV commercials, learn about Pizza Hut's famous Book It! program and view mementos such as early menus, promotional items, serving trays, glassware and more.

The museum, located just south of Marcus Welcome Center, will be open to the public during set hours and also available for group tours arranged in advance. Hours are 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday and Friday and noon-4 p.m. Tuesday-Thursday. Beginning Monday, May 7, summer hours will be noon-4 p.m. Monday-Friday. Admission is free.
