The holders of the master franchise for Pizza Hut’s delivery services throughout Ireland have secured High Court orders preventing Pizza Hut’s US-based parent terminating the franchise agreement. The orders apply pending the outcome of full legal proceedings.
Q Co Franchising Ireland Ltd, owned and operated by brothers John and Patrick Cronin, secured the injunctions yesterday from Mr Justice Michael Hanna against Pizza Hut International LLC, with an address in Texas.
Q Co, which has more than 35 Pizza Hut delivery franchises North and South, claims the parent company is not entitled to terminate the master agreement.
