Pizza Hut has added more than 50 outlets to its Australian network with the rebadging of some Eagle Boys stores.

Last year the newly-capitalised Pizza Hut business acquired the embattled Eagle Boys brand and offered Eagle Boys franchisees sitting outside existing trading zones the opportunity to convert their stores.

Administrator SV Partners has just completed the transition of the 50-plus franchised outlets.

Pizza Hut Australia CEO Lisa Ransom said in a statement: “Our goal was to bring across as many Eagle Boys franchisees as possible that were not in conflict with our trading zones across the country.

“While we warmly welcome the new franchisees, we sincerely wish the very best to all of those franchisees we were unfortunately unable to accommodate within our network.”
