Everyone moves on just takes awhile: Longest running Pizza Hut closing this weekend in Manhattan

A Pizza Hut in Manhattan (Kansas) that has been at its original location longer than any Pizza Hut in the nation will close this weekend in Manhattan.

Pizza-hut-logoCompany officials announced Tuesday the Pizza Hut in Manhattan’s Aggieville will close at 11 p.m. Sunday. It began operating there in 1960.

Pizza Hut was founded in 1958 by two Wichita State University students. After the original Pizza Hut in Wichita moved, the Manhattan location became the oldest still operating at its original site.
