Pita Pit
Pita sandwiches
Can fast food be good for you? Yes, proclaim the people at the Pita Pit. The company offers healthful, fresh food that’s served fast. The Pita Pit uses its own special light Lebanese-style pitas that are filled with goodies such as lean meats, unique cheeses, crisp, fresh veggies, and exotic toppings, including the company’s zesty signature sauces. People interested in becoming franchise owners don’t need restaurant experience. Franchisees receive training in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, splitting their time between classroom instruction and on-the-job training at a Pita Pit restaurant. They also receive ongoing support, which includes 24/7 access to a regional support specialist.
