The old Pizza Hut at 1329 Main St in Chipley has a documented building date, but not a confirmed closing date.
Washington County Property Appraiser records, published in the Florida Department of Revenue’s 2024 tax roll, list the primary structure at that address as built in 2000. The same roll classifies the property under the state use code for restaurants and cafeterias. That classification describes the property on the tax roll. It is not a record of when the restaurant opened or closed.
Pizza Hut’s own store locator listed a restaurant at 1329 Main St, with posted carryout and delivery hours, in archived copies of the company’s page from Aug. 22, 2019, through Dec. 4, 2021, the latest archived copy found. Official records reviewed for this story do not give an exact date when the restaurant closed, or when Pizza Hut first opened at the address. As of Nov. 14, 2026, that listing is gone, and visiting 1329 Main St on Pizza Hut’s site redirects to the company’s Chipley directory. The current state list of active food-service licenses also has no licensed establishment at that address.
Photographs taken Nov. 14, 2026, show roll-off dumpsters on the lot, which points to activity at the site. At least one front window is broken out, and the pane next to it is cracked.
A city record now puts a name on work at the building. The City of Chipley’s permit report for Oct. 1 through Oct. 31, 2026, included in the Nov. 10, 2026, City Council packet (Section F, Item 5, packet page 24), lists Curaleaf Florida LLC as the applicant for “Interior Renovations” at 1329 Main St. The report lists the owner as KOACH CHIPLEY LLC and classifies the work as commercial, under Land Use Compliance. It does not say what the renovated building will be used for, and it does not give an opening date.
The Florida Department of Health’s Office of Medical Marijuana Use lists Curaleaf Florida, LLC as a licensed medical marijuana treatment center with dispensing authorization. A city renovation permit is not the same as state approval to open a dispensing location. As of Nov. 14, 2026, the latest update posted on OMMU’s weekly updates page was dated Nov. 6, 2026. That update, and OMMU’s published list of approved dispensing addresses, do not list an approved Curaleaf location in Chipley or Washington County.
Pizza Hut’s Chipley directory now lists only a Pizza Hut Express at 1428 Blue Lake Road, Chipley. The official listing includes the note “Location is Coming Soon.” Pizza Hut has not posted an opening date on that page. The listing does not say whether the Express is a replacement for the Main Street restaurant.
WashCo Now will update this story if city records name the intended use of the building, if the state approves a dispensing location in Chipley, or if Curaleaf announces a use or an opening date.
