The downtown lunch crowd will have one more option in the spring: Pita Pit. The Lebanese-style pitas chain
already has a restaurant on West 86th Street across from Brebeuf Prep. It also has stores in Bloomington, Muncie and West
Lafayette. The 1,200-square-foot downtown store, which will take space next to Flagstar Bank in 1 North Pennsylvania St.,
will be operated by a new franchise owner for the chain, Travis Sealls of Indianapolis. The other Indianapolis location is
operated by Gary Jeffery, his wife Kathy and son Brian. The Idaho-based chain, which began in Canada, has a total of about
185 locations in the U.S.

Ate at W. 86th location. It was edible, that's all -- big deal it's going downtown.
I'm headed to Cheesecake Factory... Bradshaw out!
Indiana's/America's traditional manufacturing base is teetering on the brink, my GE stocks are almost worthless, and a new and untested president can't get started fast enough.
Oh the passion and power of our taste buds. I love it!
You can laugh all you want but the people on this particular blog are fairly passionate about development, particularly in the core of the city. And however you want to slice it, both this plastic pita place and the BW3 are developments.
I am Travis, the new franchise owner for the chain. Some quick corrections…we will be occupying 1500-square-feet and we are not exactly a Lebanese-style pita chain. We are healthy minded like Subway, but offer a much higher quality of food and many more options. Yes, we will offer some “Middle Eastern†type foods (ie Falafel, Hummus, Babaganoush), but we will also offer many other options, which include chicken breast, ham, roast beef, turkey, bacon, chicken souvlaki, bacon, tuna, etc. All of the pitas are customized by the customer with any/all of the 17 fresh veggies and numerous different sauces. We also serve any pita as a salad, which is known as fork style, making us one of the best places in the city to get a salad.
We will be open late night and also deliver, so if you’re out drinking and need to grab some late night grub downtown we’ll be open until 3:00 or 4:00. I encourage everyone to give it a try. The food is exceptional and a different change of pace from the everyday sandwich or slice of pizza.
Great to hear you'll be open late. I'll definitely give you business. Also, will you be hiring bike delivery?
benjamin - I'm glad to hear you'll be a customer. Yes, we will be doing bike delivery for the M-F lunches and car delivery the rest of the time. I'll be starting the hiring process in 3-4 weeks and will let you know more then.
