With over 200 locations across the four corners of the United States and every where in between, Pita Pit has found a new home in Oxford.

Located on North Lamar Boulevard, right off the square, owner of the new Pita Pit, Jack Brighenti, thought this would be the perfect location to provide healthy eating to both students and the Oxford community.
He is the owner of two other Pita Pits, which are located in Baton Rouge and New Orleans. His newest location is the first to open in the state of Mississippi.

“It definitely has that youthful kind of energy around; a lot of undergraduates and graduates, a lot of intellectuals, professors, and also the community itself," Brighenti said. “The historic roots and the Square here, we were just kind of drawn to it.

The first location will be opened by 26-year old entrepreneur, Jack Brighinti, who has previously opened two Pita Pit locations in New Orleans and Baton Rouge near universities.

Jack decided to move to Oxford to open his newest location to introduce the brand to the state because of the tremendous success he has found with his two other locations and loved the idea of bringing something different to the Oxford community. Why Jack has found so many successes is through his community service and sponsorship of local organizations in the region which he feels passionate about after opening in each town. His goal is to make healthy and affordable eating options available to the whole city, deciding to eliminate delivery boundaries and make the whole city his market.

Pita Pit has more than 300 locations across North America and is continuing to grow in college towns and downtown areas across the United States and Canada. They are most known for the fun, fresh atmosphere that focuses on healthy ingredients that are customized to order, grilled meats and unique sauces to spice-up anything on the menu.
