Economic development can come in all shapes and sizes, and in one instance in Chicago Heights the shape is flat and round.
The city is home to Pita Pan Old World Bakery, which turns out about 1 million pieces of pita bread daily and is undergoing an expansion that will double its capacity by the end of the year.
The addition ultimately could add more than 100 jobs.
The company’s been operating in Chicago Heights, at the northeast corner of State Street and Joe Orr Road, for six years. A 105,000-square-foot addition is expected to be completed before the end of this year.
