Raise a red cup to freedom.
Pizza Hut has been around for 27.2% of the history of the United States.
With today marking 250 years since the founding of the USA, it's the perfect time to reflect on perhaps the country's most iconic building, the red-roofed Pizza Hut. The founding of the business by Dan and Frank Carney in 1958 is the stuff of American folklore. And now these buildings, repurposed to house a myriad of businesses, continue to bear witness to The American Dream.
This simple building is a monument to America's diversity, and to its entrepreneurial spirit. So raise a red cup to freedom if you get a chance.
