The Dough Rises Again
On the topic of retail reboots in Hernando… guess what else is back, back again? That’s right – Pizza Hut’s back, tell a friend! (Alright, so I’ll be completely honest here – I have absolutely zero clue what that’s from. But I’ve seen it thrown about on this site a few times before, and am currently just going with the flow in using it XD )
Hernando’s old Pizza Hut, you might recall, abruptly closed up shop back in September 2016 (a development that almost went unnoticed, given all the Kroger hubbub taking place on the lot immediately behind that building!). Since that time, the UTBAPH became what every restaurant that closes in DeSoto County transitions into – a Mexican joint – while the town itself was left Pizza Hut-less.
See, in a lot of cases where Pizza Hut closes its sit-down restaurant, it will relocate elsewhere in town to a new, carryout-only location. Unfortunately for Hernando, that wasn’t the case here. (On the plus side though, our former Pizza Hut was also supposed to lose its recognizable hut roof post-closure, but we were spared that – so I guess those two even each other out :P ) Now, however, Pizza Hut has made its long-awaited (maybe? I dunno, I don’t eat Pizza Hut XD ) return! Two years late, but hey, who’s counting :P
I saw this brand new exterior signing gracing the façade of 1218 Commerce Street on October 28th, and immediately rushed over here to take a picture. Perhaps one reason Pizza Hut never relocated back in 2016 is because there weren’t any particularly suitable spots for them to open up in, but since that time, this building was built new – that’s right, this is the same overall structure housing our relocated AT&T store next door, out of frame to the left. So the Pizza Hut franchisee (same one as before, per a little research) decided to take advantage of the opportunity and reopen in Hernando, in this relatively new building. Pretty cool when things work out like that!
The restaurant celebrated its grand opening the weekend before Thanksgiving, with signs still littered all around town promoting the “new location” across from Walmart. I’ll have some more pics from here in the future.

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
