With the recent 50% acquisition of UK-based mobile phone operation The Carphone Warehouse's retail division, Best Buy announced that it would open branded superstores in the UK and other European countries. Best Buy will first open stores in the UK, with plans for up to 200 stores eventually, although the initiative has been delayed until Spring 2010 by the state of the retail market. It is also considering purchasing UK rivals Kesa Electricals (owner of Comet), DSG International (owner of Currys), or both. It is unknown whether these stores will rebrand if acquired by Best Buy. The first two Best Buy stores in the UK will open at The Junction retail park near Lakeside Shopping Centre in Thurrock Essex, and near Southampton at Prupim’s Hedge End Retail Park. A 10 year lease has been signed for the Lakeside store with 50,000 square foot of retail space, while the Southampton store will cover 35,000 square foot. In total 20 locations are planned for 2009 which will all be big box format, however the company is looking for a flagship store in Central London in a prominent area such as Piccadilly Circus, Oxford Street or Regent Street.

Pizza Hut is an American restaurant chain and international franchise based in Addison, Texas (a northern suburb of Dallas), offering different styles of pizza along with side dishes including pasta, buffalo wings, breadsticks, and garlic bread. Pizza Hut is a subsidiary of Yum! Brands, Inc., the world's largest restaurant company, with approximately 34,000 restaurants, delivery-carry out units, and kiosks in 100 countries.

Pizza Hut is split into several restaurant formats; the original family-style "Red Roof" dine-in locations, delivery locations that offer a carry-out, delivery, and dine-in options, and the store front delivery and carry-out locations. Many full-size Pizza Hut locations offer lunch buffet, with "all-you-can-eat" pizza, salad, breadsticks, and a special pasta. Additionally, Pizza Hut also has a number of other business concepts that are different from the store type; Pizza Hut "Bistro" locations are Red Roofs which offer an expanded menu and slightly more upscale options.

Finally, "Pizza Hut Express" and "The Hut" locations are fast food restaurants. They offer a limited menu with many products not found at traditional Pizza Huts. These type of stores are often paired in a colocated location with a sibling brand such as Wing Street, KFC or Taco Bell, they can also be found on college campuses, food courts, theme parks, and in stores such as Target.

Papa John's Pizza (NASDAQ: PZZA) is the third largest take-out and delivery pizza restaurant chain in the United States, behind Pizza Hut and Domino's Pizza. It is based in Louisville, Kentucky. Papa John's slogan is "Better Ingredients. Better Pizza."

The founder of Papa John's, John Schnatter, began his pizza career at Rocky's Sub Pub in Jeffersonville, Indiana while attending Jeffersonville High School. John graduated from Jeffersonville High in 1980, and continued his association with the pizza business while attending Ball State University, working as a delivery driver for Greek's Pizzeria in Muncie. Upon graduating, he began working for his father, who was co-owner of the bar Mick's Lounge in Jeffersonville. In 1983, he sold his car (a 1971 Chevrolet Camaro Z28) to buy out the other owner of the bar, and started serving pizza to customers. Business started picking up.

In 2009, with the pizzeria chain firmly established, Schnatter set out to find his beloved '71 Camaro. After a few months, the original buyers of the car saw Schnatter mention his search for the car in a TV interview. They had sold the car only five years prior for $4,000 to Jeffrey Robinson of Flatwoods, Ky., who collected the $250,000 reward for returning it to Schnatter. The buyers Schnatter had sold the car to in 1983 were paid a $25,000 finder's fee.

The corporation credits its growth to great customer service, quality products, and menu simplicity, in contrast with other chains' focus on low prices. Fewer options in crust styles and side dishes simplify inventory management and are meant to allow greater focus on what options there are. However, since the mid-1990s, Papa John's has followed the industry trend and greatly expanded its menu options, adding thin-crust, pan pizza, and whole wheat crust options (available in one size only); "Robusto", barbecue, and Alfredo; 10 specialty pizzas, many with new toppings and new cheeses; chicken strips and three flavors of chicken wings; many dessert pastries, such as Apple pie; and new variations of bread sticks and cheese sticks.

The thin crust has been advertised as crispier than others (similar to St. Louis-style pizza) and the "Robusto" sauce introduced with the pan crust has chunky tomato pieces and more vibrant spice notes. To simplify in-store operations and to provide product consistency between stores, many functions such as dough production are carried out by an off-site commissary system similar to that of most other fast food chains.
