A chance meeting in the fall of 2004 with Samira Mahfouz and an anonymous food court vendor. For whatever reason Samira felt the need to tell her husband and four children about this place in Niagara Falls NY in a food court and how she thought it was perfect for the family at the time. One thing led to another and Pita Gourmet was born. March 1, 2005 Farrah Mahfouz, Monique Mahfouz, Joseph Mahfouz, and Mark Mahfouz along with the love and debt of their supportive parents Bechara and Samira Mahfouz. Nine months later the first employee was hired.
