# The Morning Sun: Pita Pit Opens Newest Location in Mt. Pleasant

**TL;DR:** Pita Pit has opened a new location in Mt. Pleasant, owned by Mike Conley. Conley, a former employee and general manager, has a decade of experience with the brand and chose to open his own franchise in the town where he first started working with Pita Pit.

## Story

Mike Conley first came to Mt. Pleasant to study at Central Michigan University, but he diverted his path once he began working for Pita Pit as a student.

At 20-years old, Conley became a delivery driver at the town's Pita Pit. Today, at 30, Conley has a decade of experience as a Pita Pit employee, general manager, and now, finally, owner.

“I knew I was ready to take that next step,” Conley told The Morning Sun. "When I was ready to leave my manager position and buy a franchise, there was really no other option. This is one of those towns that you can just fall in love with. This was my store and this was where my Pita Pit journey began.”
