Pita Pit, a fast-casual Mediterranean chain, has closed its downtown location after more than a decade in business.
Signage has been removed from the corner storefront at 231 E. Wisconsin Ave., which is now being marketed for lease by Colliers International.
A phone call to the business went unanswered Wednesday and the restaurant’s Facebook page is no longer active.
Opened in 2015, the restaurant occupied a space in the base of the Railway Exchange Building, where it served a health-focused lineup of custom pita sandwiches, grain bowls and salads.
The downtown restaurant was Milwaukee’s last Pita Pit location; another previously operated at 2224 N. Farwell Ave., the current site of Tsaocaa. Though no longer present in the city proper, Pita Pit continues at more than 90 locations nationwide.
Pita Pit’s U.S. headquarters are in Coeur D’Alene, Idaho. The chain also operates in Canada.
Although it’s known for Mediterranean flavors, Pita Pit also features globally-inspired options such as the hula teriyaki bowl and cheese-filled “quesapita.” Its lineup of classic pitas includes falafel, hummus, gyro and Philly.
The former restaurant is being listed by Blake Gaffney and Matt Salamone, both real estate advisors with Colliers. The commercial space includes 2,469 square feet, with an additional 1,000 square feet available.
The ground-level storefront was previously home to a Quiznos sandwich shop. For more information, view the online listing.
Andrew Culp, the location’s registered agent, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The Railway Exchange Building is owned by PK2group.
