Pizza Hut is making some big changes this year, and that means a lot of locations are saying goodbye, according to a recent CNN article.

Yum! Brands, the parent company of Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, and KFC, announced that around 250 underperforming Pizza Hut locations across the U.S. (about 3% of stores) are set to close in the first half of the year. No word yet on which spots are affected.

On the bright side, Taco Bell sales are up 7%, and KFC is seeing slight growth, helping balance things out overall.
