COK Restaurant Outreach Success: Pita Pit Adds New Vegan Option!

Whether we’re concerned about our health, the environment, or animals, a growing number of Americans are opting for meat-, egg-, and dairy-free foods—and restaurants everywhere  are responding by expanding their menus to include vegan meals.  Consumers looking for a healthy and delicious animal-friendly meal on the go now have one more option: Pita Pit, a national sandwich chain with more 100 locations from coast to coast.

Compassion Over Killing is excited to announce that after working with Pita Pit for the past several months, the company is taking a compassionate step in fulfilling its “Fresh Thinking, Healthy Eating” motto: starting on May 9, 2011 this quick-service chain is adding an all-vegan black bean patty to its menu nationwide!

For a hearty and healthful meal, you can order your pita stuffed to the brim with fresh veggies and toppings—hummus, avocado, spinach, sprouts, cucumbers to name a few—and of course, the new protein-packed vegan black bean patty.

“We know that a growing number of our customers – and consumers everywhere – are looking for delicious and nutritious heart-healthy options and are also increasingly concerned about animal welfare issues. That’s why we’re excited to introduce a hearty all-vegan black bean patty to our menus nationwide.”  -- Paul Erwin, Chief Financial Executive, Pita Pit
