Pita Pit USA Expands Montana Presence with New Development Deal in Belgrade

Former Tech Leader and Montana Native to Introduce Community-Focused Fast-Casual Dining Option

BELGRADE, Mont., Feb. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Pita Pit USA, a distinguished Mediterranean fast-casual brand specializing in made-to-order pita sandwiches, is excited to announce a new development deal bringing a fresh and healthy dining option to Belgrade, Montana. The upcoming location will be owned and operated by Bruce Foreman, a fourth-generation Montanan who is turning a lifelong dream into reality after a successful career in technology and customer service.

Born and raised in nearby Bozeman, Foreman was first introduced to the quick-service restaurant (QSR) industry while working at a local McDonald's. Under the mentorship of top management, Bruce's experience at McDonald's in his teenage years instilled a lifelong passion for serving the public through fast, delicious food.

"My dream was always to run a QSR, and Pita Pit has been one of my favorite restaurants for years," said Foreman. "Belgrade is growing, and I saw an opportunity to bring back jobs, mentor young employees, and provide a healthy dining option for both locals and visitors."

Pita Pit is committed to delivering fresh and flavorful Mediterranean-inspired cuisine to communities across the country. The new and improved menu showcases the addition of the Greek Grilled Cheese, a Mediterranean twist on the beloved American dish, available in a variety of flavor combinations including the Chicken Club, Athens Steak, Athens Chicken, Cowboy Steak, and Say Cheese.

"We're thrilled to welcome Bruce to the Pita Pit family and to expand our footprint in Montana," said Peter Riggs, President and CEO of Pita Pit USA. "Bruce's deep roots in the region, combined with his passion for customer service and mentorship, make him the ideal partner to bring Pita Pit to Belgrade."

Beyond signature pitas and the innovative Greek Grilled Cheese, Pita Pit offers a variety of bowls, build-your-own options, and tempting sides, like Falafel Bites. Additionally, their menu includes vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options, ensuring all guests enjoy a satisfying meal tailored to their dietary preferences.

Pita Pit is currently seeking both single-unit and multi-unit franchisees who possess a strong passion for the brand and its renewed commitment to innovation within the restaurant space. The new drive-thru model allows franchise partners more real estate options, as the smaller footprint of about 800-1000 square feet can flex to fit into a variety of layouts that fit the needs of any given area. This smaller option, created to accommodate more delivery and pick-up orders, will also reduce the breadth of franchisees financial commitments.
