History

Established in 2012.

The Pita Pit began back in 1995, the first Pita Pit in Kingston, Ontario.

Today’s trend toward healthier eating the time was right to offer a fresh, healthy alternative to traditional high-​fat, high-​carb, high-​calorie fast foods. Their Lebanese-​style pita sandwiches packed with fresh veggies, grilled meats and zesty sauces were an instant hit with the college and university crowd, especially since some of the first stores stayed open late – well into the wee hours of the morning, making it perfect for students taking a break from studying or coming home after a night of partying.

Today, there are more than 300 Pita Pit stores in Canada and the States and the chain has now begun expanding beyond North America. It’s also moving up on the «Future 50» list, Restaurant Business Magazine’s ranking of the best and fastest-​growing small chains. In 2009, it was ranked #1 in its category on the Franchise 500 list.
