High Plains Pizza Inc. in Liberal Friday told kscbnews.net that they will comment on the possible name change at a later date once corporate makes an official announcement.

The new “Hut” stores will be more than a place to just pick up your order but also a place that will include televisions that will air programs such as “Wheel of Fortune” and “Entertainment Tonight according to MediaWeek.

The change is also due to the addition of more pasta items on the menu.
