The post has attracted over 3000 comments and over 800 shares in the last 15 hours, with everyone expressing their disappointment.
“Have always just loved Pizza Hut for a very, very long time. More visits than I could ever remember now. Part of South Australia so remembered. Totally saddened to hear this news and so very sorry for you all first that own and work there and also for all the sad customers that visit your great business too. Awful news in summary. Plan to come to see you all again and have a wonderful meal again. Thank you all,” one man said.
“Can I say! Thank you. Growing up a local of the Marion area we had many Friday nights there and so many fond childhood memories there. Thank you for 44 years,” another man said.
