On This Day June 15

College students Dan and Frank Carney founded the first Pizza Hut in Wichita, Kansas on June 15 1958. They opened the restaurant with $600 borrowed from their mom. The story behind the restaurant chain's name isn't very complicated. The sign outside the original building only had room for eight letters, the title "Pizza Hut" just happened to fit on the sign.
