Pizza Hut opens 100 store in Sri Lanka

Gamma Pizzakraft Lanka (Pvt) Ltd, the single franchisee for Pizza Hut, Sri Lanka’s most loved and trusted pizza brand, achieved a significant milestone as it proudly opened its 100th store on October 14th in Kurunegala, Gettuwana in the presence of many special guests and dignitaries from the internationally acclaimed Pizza Hut chain.

Turning 100 is a milestone not many can boast of as it is a distinction that only the persevering can achieve. Attaining such a milestone takes grit and determination,especially considering the setbacks suffered by the country and people over the last few years. Achieving a 100-outletestate is a monumental statement of courage and conviction in the face of seemingly unsurmountable odds. 

The company also shared that it has ambitious expansion plans to considerably increase its footprint in Sri Lanka in the next five years. Pizza Hut has been on a steady growth trajectory and plans to enter several new cities by the end of 2023.

Speaking on the occasion, Managing Director of Gamma Pizzakraft Lanka (Pvt) Ltd Amar Raj Singh said, “It is the loyal customers of Pizza Hut here in Sri Lanka that helped us get to this enviable position. I take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to our customers, community, and well-wishers and feel greatly inspired and encouraged by the resilience of ourcountrymen during these turbulent times,to move forward courageously with the company’s expansion programme.”

CEO of Gamma Pizzakraft Lanka (Pvt) Ltd, Yasa Nadaraja said, “We owe deep gratitude to the dedicated and passionate people who work tirelessly at every Pizza Hut outlet to deliver a product that meets our stringent quality standards and serve our customers to their fullest satisfaction. Without all of them and their commitment, we could not have got to this chapter in our story of success.”

In November 1993, Pizza Hut made its foray into Sri Lanka with a restaurant in Union Place, Colombo 2, becoming the first international pizza chain to enter Sri Lanka and introduce the concept of a Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) and the iconic Pan Pizza.
