R.I.P., America's Oldest Pizza Hut
The Manhattan, Kansas, restaurant, which has operated for 55 years, will serve its final slice Sunday.
After 55 years in business, the nation’s oldest Pizza Hut will fire up the oven one last time Sunday before shutting its doors for good.
Located in Manhattan, Kansas, the shop is one of dozens managed by Topeka native Bernie Butler, reports local newspaper The Topeka Capital-Journal. In a statement, he said that while he appreciates the historic value of the store, “we finally had to acknowledge that the financial side of the business outweighed the history of the place.”
