Pita Pit expansion to cause temporary closing

The popular OU student eatery Pita Pit, located at 311 W. Boyd St., is expected to close for one day in the next two weeks due to construction that will ultimately expand its breadth to allow many more patrons.

The construction, which began two weeks ago when ownership of the space next door concluded, will considerably expand Pita Pit and the changes include nearly 20 more tables, another bathroom, two plasma flat-screen TVs, and a projector that will be used to watch football games.

Jessica Greff, an employee at Pita Pit who has worked there for three months, said she doesn't anticipate any issues other than when the wall is separating the two spaces is knocked down. She added that the new expansions will be more exciting for students, saying "come watch football games, (play) video games, and there is even talk of getting a DJ."

The agreement to expand the current Pita Pit location to the space next door was made in August, but construction has been delayed. Construction is scheduled to be completed sometime within the spring semester.
