We were at the forefront of today’s growing “fresh and healthy” eating revolution when we opened the first Pita Pit in Kingston, Ontario near Queen’s University back in 1995.

We knew from personal experience what students and young professionals wanted but couldn’t find nearby: an affordable yet great-tasting fresh and healthy alternative to artery-clogging, high-fat, and high-carb fast food. Having been students ourselves in the not-too-distant past, we also knew it was important for a quick service restaurant to stay open late for those nights when you’re studying, prepping a presentation—or just heading home after the local bars close.
