## Story

Of all the places I’ve worked, they (Pita Pit) definitely have the coolest ideas,” said Senarighi in an interview with BusinessNorth.

The menu includes a wide variety of proteins and toppings ranging from chicken breast and falafels to veggies and hummus. There are currently only three other Pita Pit locations in the state, but the brand is already looking for a potential second location in Duluth according to Vice President of Development Bill Wilfong.

“We’re No. 1 in growth in the pita category and we’ve had double-digit growth every year,” said Wilfong to BusinessNorth Reporter Beth Bily.

The new location is ripe for record breaking sales, with more than 400 men and women employed in the same building and many more working close by. Pita Pit's Duluth location is gearing up for big business between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. beginning in mid-November.
