## Story

Bryson is the proud owner and operator of Pita Pit's nearby Columbia location and has always been interested in opening additional locations. He told the News Tribune that he'd always wanted to provide the people of Central Missouri with something new; a healthy alternative to fast food.

His location will open in the first week of February and can be found at the Edge Express convenience store at the intersection of West Edgewood Drive and Missouri 179.
