My experiences at KTC and Pizza Hut were similiar to Phil's - soupy mashed
potato, greasy fluid posing as gravy (at least the chicken was cooked). The
decor at the Whangarei Pizza Hut was drab and the food poor but RBD
announced a while ago, an upgrade program ( which will add to their costs).
I'll never eat there again but I'm happy to trade them for the reasons that
have been mentioned by Rebecca and others, they pay a reasonable dividend if
you get stuck with them, and they are way cheaper than original issue
price.That's all you need in a trading stock ,eh?
