Fast food lovers in Motherwell may well have “Hit the Hut” for the last time following a massive rent increase of £10,000 imposed on a food business.
Frank Hill, operations manager at Pizza Hut on the town’s Merry Street, hit out after North Lanarkshire Council hiked the annual rent by 80 per cent following a five-year review.
He says unless there’s a rethink then the takeaway restaurant, which is currently closed for maintenance work, won’t be opening its doors again, with a possible loss of 14 staff jobs.
