Serving Bingley for almost 30 years, the legacy of the store is not one to be ignored, as the store has provided a safe, caring environment for that special family meal or young social gathering, and has also provided vital employment to the towns residents, becoming some what of a statement of Bingley's social fibre.
The situation is that the lease for the property will end this coming July (2014), and so Pizza Hut management will have to assess whether or not keeping the store up and running will be of any asset to them. It is also worth noting that the Bingley store actually makes a profit when not every store does (such as Harrogate), and so there is no blatant need for its closure.
Yet the overall effect of the opening of a Sainsbury's store in that location on the town is one which is debatable, as plans are well under way for the development of an Aldi store meters from this site, and what with a Co-op in the town too, does Bingley really need three supermarkets? And with the previously scrapped plans to build a Sainsbury's over the site of the famous Bradford & Bingley site, should we really allow the company that has already broken promises to the town rid us of our iconic Pizza Hut restaurant?
Therefore, I urge you to sign this petition to show your support for the Bingley Pizza Hut branch, and to make company management realise the importance of the store to not only its many customers and employees, but to the social structure of Bingley itself.

The feedback regarding the potential closure of our local Pizza Hut has been consistent and telling. I have been gathering information on the lease conditions and communicating with local representatives to ensure our perspective is formally acknowledged. Your shared concerns regarding the town's retail landscape underscore the importance of this space to our community.

The rapid growth of this petition shows that our community recognizes how vital this restaurant is to our local character. This momentum demonstrates a clear refusal to let an important social hub be replaced without a serious conversation about the needs of our town.

bingley needs a pizza hut the only place a family can be fully catered for to even contemplate getting rid of it is madness sainsbury bought the b&b building and did nothing with it they had there chance now they should be told to take a long walk off of a short pier and get out of our town there not wanted :0)
We need to stand up to Sainsbury's and say No, if they cannot follow through on the B & B site, why should we have them in our town full stop!
Proud ex-team member of the beloved Hut. I would be sorry to see it go for an unnecessary supermarket.
The place where everyone comes together workers and customers. Bingles Pizza Hut is loved and needed by everybody. There's way too many sainsburys around these days
Do we really need another overpriced 'supermarket' in Bingley...we all know Aldi will be the winner!!! Pizza Hut is one of the few additions in Bingley that keeps families visiting!!

Providing first employment for many of the towns 16-24 year olds over the last 30 years who are not taken on in such numbers by local Sainsburys. Flexible working hours for mothers/fathers needing part-time hours not to mention the only family restaurant in Bingley.
