Pita Franchises

As fast casual restaurants, pita brands feature relatively streamlined menus with straightforward preparation. The core products have broad appeal and are proven. Many have been around for 25 years or more, and the cuisine remains popular. The food also benefits from consumer perceptions that it is healthier. While these restaurants do require a full kitchen, generally no more than 1,500 square feet total is needed. In-line units are typical, though an end cap is preferable as always. You can expect a strong lunch daypart, so plenty of daytime traffic and lots of employers nearby would be ideal. Speaking of lunch, some brands have a strong focus on catering. Of course the wraps and sandwiches feature on typical menus lend themselves very well to this. At least one even has a school lunch program.

Modern Twists

Most pita franchises are fairly traditional, but there are those that venture into more cutting-edge (or at least non-Mediterranean) variations. After all, the pita is an alternative to a sandwich or wrap. More menu options mean broader appeal, but they also bring more inventory and complexity. This is a thinly populated niche, so you?ll see less competition, though Mediterranean restaurants with a more extensive menu will present an alternative to your customers.
