Pita Pit USA Broadens Alaskan Reach with Two New Outlets

Pita Pit USA is set to open two new locations in Wasilla and Palmer, Alaska. The new outlets reflect Pita Pit's growth strategy, targeting areas experiencing significant economic development. The franchisee spearheading these ventures, Kaleb Crawford, has extensive experience managing healthcare food service operations in Alaska, which aligns with Pita Pit's focus on high-quality, healthy meals.

Crawford expressed his enthusiasm for the expansion, noting that Pita Pit has already established itself as a popular choice for fresh and flavorful dining in Alaska. The new locations will introduce Alaskans to the brand's customizable, health-focused menu.

Pita Pit's President and CEO, Peter Riggs, echoed Crawford's sentiments, expressing pride in the brand's growing Alaskan footprint. Riggs lauded Crawford's deep ties to the Alaskan market and his substantial food service experience as assets in bringing the Pita Pit experience to more communities in the state.

In addition to its signature pitas, Pita Pit offers a variety of bowls, build-your-own options, and appealing sides such as Falafel Bites. The menu caters to diverse dietary preferences, offering vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options.

The company is seeking single-unit and multi-unit franchisees who share a strong passion for the brand and its renewed commitment to innovation within the restaurant space. Pita Pit's new drive-thru model offers franchise partners more real estate options. The smaller footprint of about 800-1000 square feet can adapt to a variety of layouts that suit the needs of any given area. This smaller option, designed to accommodate more delivery and pick-up orders, will also reduce the scope of franchisees' financial commitments.
