HURRICANE, W.Va. â Established in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, in 1995, The Pita Pit is a chain thatâs grown quite a following in the United States, particularly among college kids looking to get a quick bite to eat and people looking for healthier options. A new location opened in Hurricane, West Virginia, last year.
âThis is my 29th year with the food business. I started with Samâs Hotdog Stand, then I was with Little Caesars for 13 years. I sold my shares of Little Caesars to my business partner and started looking for something in my retirement years,â said Michael Insco, franchise owner of the Hurricane Pita Pit.
