## Story

Pita Pit is in the midst of a new prototype rollout, and the brand was recently featured as the cover story for Foodservice Equipment Reports Magazine’s November issue. The story details Pita Pit’s unique new flexible store design and discusses how the new layout will allow franchisees to adapt their store to fit the market’s needs.

Pita Pit USA Director of Construction Duane Dlouhy, who led the project, spoke with FER Magazine about the exciting update and what it means for the brand moving forward.

Said Dlouhy, “Our goals were to improve speed of service, find a better POS provider, and better leverage our delivery and catering business. Also, we realized our stores will need to be ready to handle the higher demand that comes with special events (festivals, street markets and so on). We needed an option to capture all the business more efficiently.”
