teach them how to do it.”
With all the positive momentum surrounding Pita
Pit, the only place to go is up. Fittingly, that’s exactly
Lange’s goal: “[We’re wondering] what the next twen-
ty years looks like and that’s biodegradable napkins
and straws; thinking about the environment globally,”
he says. He talks about some benchmarks they’ve
already laid down. “We’ve done water-refuelling sta-
tions in London, England; reclaimed barn board on the
counters and high-efficiency light bulbs…we have to
think about what we’re leaving this planet like after
we’re gone. We’re all family people here with children
and that is important to us moving forward.”
At the end of the day, every business has one nugget
that is their key to success. When asked about his own,
Lange lays it out matter-of-factly. “I think number one
is the culture of our company and we can’t lose who
we are. From the top to the bottom, it doesn’t matter
who, we’ll get behind the counter and roll pitas.”
They’ve done a pretty great job so far.
