WHY FRANCHISE
Extreme Pita was co-founded by brothers Alex and Mark Rechichi in 1997. It all started with a
dream. The dream to create an innovative product heaping with nutrition; one that had
variety, zest and the stamina to hold an unbelievable amount of quality meats,
cheeses, sauces and veggies. Right from the start their idea was simple … sell fresh, and
healthy food.
Alex and Mark turned to a type of bread that is highly nutritious, versatile enough to be used
as a wrap (but strong enough to hold all those goodies!) and tastes really, really good! One
thing was certain, they did not want their customers to get full on foot long loaves of
bread with very little fresh toppings in between, so they turned to the Power of the
Pita!
Since the beginning, Extreme Pita has been one of the most unique and rewarding food
franchises in North America, growing at the rate of approximately one store per week.
Extreme Pita was founded in February 1997, in
Waterloo, Ontario. Despite what may seem obvious,
our goal at the time was not to simply create the
greatest tasting pita sandwich imaginable. Instead,
what we set out to accomplish was to also provide
our customers the choice of something different;
the
choice to eat at an establishment that truly
understands active lifestyles and healthy concerns.
This
remains our guiding principle to this day.
“Inspiring Healthier Living™” is more than a simple
marketing cliché to us - these words, and the values
they represent, are the foundation of our offering.
These
remain unchanged from the day we first
opened our doors
to you.
The fact that we “succeeded” in
creating one of the
greatest tasting
pita sandwiches imaginable is
merely one more benefit! So go ahead, try it once,
we know you’ll be back!
Today more than ever, people are turning away from
traditional fast foods and discovering the benefits of
fresh and healthy food. Research shows all age
groups are concernedabout the food they eat.
Extreme Pita strives to meet and exceed all of the
expectations of today’s consumers who are looking
for aquality, healthy alternative totraditional fast
food. The best part about Extreme Pita is not the
reduced fat and reduced calories, but that we will not sacrifice
taste.Extreme Pita has more than 200
locations open throughout Canada and the US, and
