EXTREME
BUSINESS WIN FOR DUKE MARKETING® WITH
EXTREME PITA NATIONAL ACCOUNT
San Rafael, Calif.
- JUNE 1, 2006- Duke Marketing®, an Integrated Marketing
Communications firm, announced today it has won new business from
Extreme Pita, the Canadian based multi-unit quick casual pita concept.
Extreme Pita has retained Duke Marketing to provide local store
marketing and grand opening consulting.
"We needed a marketing
firm that had experience working with and growing multi-unit franchise
organizations on a national level and Duke Marketing was referred
to us by the Franchise Association of America, so we knew they were
great," said Alex Rechichi, Chief Executive Officer, Extreme
Pita Franchise Systems, Inc.
The Extreme Pita chain
has numerous restaurants opening in the United States over next
several years. With its beginnings in Ontario, Canada in 1997, the
chain has grown to more than 150 locations throughout Canada. In
2005, the concept was introduced to the United States and currently
thirteen locations are open and the Company expects to have 180
open by 2008. Extreme Pita is nicely positioned in a niche between
fast food and healthy eating restaurants. Similar to quick service
operations, Extreme Pita offers its customers the convenience of
providing fast healthy food while avoiding the expense and delay
associated with waiter/waitress service.
"Extreme Pita is
a fantastic concept," stated Linda Duke, CEO and Principal
of Duke Marketing. "They have a rock-solid business model,
an emphasis on fast, fresh and healthy food and a unique selling
proposition," she stated. "People are tired of the same
old thing. They are looking for something new and healthy that they
can feel good about eating. Extreme Pita's is the answer. We are
excited to grow with them and their franchisees and introduce consumers
in their new markets to their extremely delicious food," she
continued.
Duke Marketing will assist
new franchised locations with grand opening marketing plans, sales
driving initiatives and local store marketing tactics.
