Pizza Hut started out as a family owned business in 1958, in Kansas, USA. Following the opening of the first international restaurant in Canada in 1968, restaurants quickly appeared in Mexico, South America, Australia, Europe, the Far East and Africa. PepsiCo, Inc. acquired them in 1977 and today; Pizza Hut operates in 84 countries and territories throughout the world.
Now, they can be proud to have Bollywood actor Zayed Khan (Lucky in Main Hoon Na) as their brand ambassador in India. Pizza Hut first came to Bangalore in 1996, when it was realized that India was a critical market geographically. The plan is to have Zayed reach out to the youth of the country, as the world's largest and most successful pizza restaurant will soon increase its number of eateries from 73 outlets in 19 cities to 100 restaurants in 26 cities.
Khan will be endorsing other brands too, as his reputation grows. He can certainly continue to use the mantra "main hoon na" to accomplish his new goal. |
