Borrowing $600 from their mother, they purchased some second-hand equipment. When they were setting up, they only had room for 25 seats - and the restaurant sign only had space for nine letters. They wanted 'Pizza' in the name, which left space for just 3 more letters. Because the building looked like a hut, Pizza Hut was born.
