The list of ways Pita Pit stands out in the booming quick service restaurant industry is endless. In a field crowded with traditional, unhealthy fast food options, the brand has emerged as a <a href="https://1851.pitapitusa.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=simple-healthy-model-gives-pita-pit-more-real-estate-flexibility-than-traditional-quick-service-restaurants-5095" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">leading provider of both healthier and tastier alternatives</a>. But its menu isn&rsquo;t the only distinguisher&mdash;Pita Pit&rsquo;s model also lends itself to an unmatched level of flexibility when it comes to real estate.

The brand&rsquo;s concept has proven to be successful in a variety of locations, from 600 to 2,300 square foot spaces. That&rsquo;s because its <a href="https://1851.pitapitusa.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=simple-healthy-model-gives-pita-pit-more-real-estate-flexibility-than-traditional-quick-service-restaurants-5095" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">fresh, made-to-order pita sandwiches</a> don&rsquo;t require fryers or even ovens, freeing up space that its competitors can&rsquo;t survive without.

&ldquo;Over the years, we&rsquo;ve found that more square footage doesn&rsquo;t necessarily equal more sales,&rdquo; said Bill Wilfong, Pita Pit&rsquo;s vice president of franchise development. &ldquo;Pita Pit does the majority of its business between the hours of 11:00 am and 2 pm, so the lunchtime demographics of its locations matters way more than how much space a specific site provides.&rdquo;

Pita Pit&rsquo;s ability to thrive in different-sized locations doesn&rsquo;t take away from its real estate selection standards. The brand holds the bar incredibly high when it comes to finding the right location&mdash;Pita Pit searches for spaces where there are highly populated offices within a quarter or half mile of its doors before ever signing a lease. The brand also targets areas where it knows consumers need healthy alternatives to typical lunch-focused restaurants.

&ldquo;Our site selection process is all about visibility. When we have a prime piece of real estate that gets a lot of foot traffic, we know we&rsquo;re going to do well,&rdquo; said Wilfong. &ldquo;Our quality, healthy products are already extremely attractive to consumers, so our goal is to simply make it as easy and convenient for them to access as possible.&rdquo;

Pita Pit&rsquo;s model is also simple for franchisees. The cost of opening a new store is extremely affordable&mdash;initial investments range from $166,097 and $322,667. The brand then provides its franchisees with all the support necessary to run a successful business, from marketing efforts to staff training programs.

Beyond its traditional stores, Pita Pit also actively develops locations with drive thrus. The brand currently has a dozen drive thru units that are already up and running, but has plans in place to open more down the line, particularly in areas where parking can be an issue.

&ldquo;Drive thrus help us tap into a new group of customers. We don&rsquo;t want to limit ourselves by only being accessible to hard working Americans in the middle of the day,&rdquo; said Wilfong. &ldquo;We&rsquo;re excited to continue developing this concept which will ultimately allow us to bring the Pita Pit brand to new communities across the country.&rdquo;
