The American-owned company said the closure of its Bentley Bridge store, in Wolverhampton, was beyond its control.
Work is taking place to redeploy employees to other restaurants in order to minimise the impact to our workforce , a Pizza Hut spokesman said.
The company confirmed the restaurant, based at Unit 5 in the leisure park, is closing today.
A spokesman said: Unfortunately the Wolverhampton Bentley Bridge Pizza Hut Restaurant closure has been beyond our control and we are doing everything we can to redeploy our team members to other Pizza Hut Restaurants in order to minimise the impact to our workforce.
Leading hospitality operators including Burger King, BrewDog, Nando’s and The Restaurant Group have come together to establish the Zero Carbon Forum.
Backed by trade bodies UKHospitality and the British Beer & Pub Association, and endorsed by Government, the forum is intended to identify the quickest and most cost effective reduction path to net zero emissions.
An initial 18 companies have come together as founders, with membership set to grow throughout 2021.
The founding members also include Pizza Hut Restaurants, Revolution Bars and Fuller’s.
All businesses involved have agreed to share carbon reduction plans and initiatives; combine expertise and resources; and to identify all possible actions to decarbonise operations across tens of thousands of outlets and supply chains.
