Pita Way Highlights:

Investing in Leaders. We are taking a less traditional approach to our growth. We care more about the integrity of the people running our stores than the money they have, when it comes to opening their own Pita Way. Because of this, we are turning dedicated and passionate leaders into managing partners, giving them an opportunity to receive profit sharing percentages. We know life is better when you are thriving, and not just surviving.
Growth Mindset. Pita Way was started in 2010 in Clarkston, MI. We now have 23 locations with 10 more on the way including spots in East Lansing and Dewitt Township. Our 3-year goal is to reach 100 locations with great leaders helping us get there.
Thinking Outside the Mitten. Our first out of state location was in Franklin, TN (right outside of Nashville). We are now growing in Ohio, Tennessee, Indiana, Georgia, and Michigan.
On-ramp to Management. Our Path to Partnership offers ambitious leaders an opportunity that is quite rare in this industry. In less than a year, you can be certified to lead your own Pita Way restaurant and receive your own piece of the pie.
Delicious Greek-style Food That’s a Step Above…and a Step Ahead. Our mission is to serve a taste of the Mediterranean region, guaranteeing quality, affordable food, fast.
A Key Ingredient. Since day one, we have put our heart and soul into creating a culture where people can enjoy the work they are doing while making a living at the same time. Happy, passionate employees make the best tasting food.
