Eata Pita, the shawarma spot inside the BP station at S. Main and William, has closed. It is about to become Cass Lake Shawarma. “For sure October,” says proprietor Emad Alkhateeb. “But can you put ‘Shawarma’ in big print and ‘Cass Lake’ in small? I really want people to see the ‘Shawarma!'”
Nope, can’t really do that in this column. He started out on Cass Lake Rd. in Oakland County, hence the name. He says the hours below may change.
Cass Lake Shawarma, 402 S. Main (inside the BP station), 355-9950. Mon.-Wed. 11 a.m.-11 p.m., Thurs.-Sat. 11 a.m.-3 a.m., Sun. 11 a.m.-6 p.m. casslakeshawarma.com.

The owner of the BP that houses Cass Lake Shawarma is Nabil Hassan, who also owns the BP at Packard and Platt that recently closed. Hassan says it will reopen: “We’re working with the city to remodel it. It just needs to be updated. We want it to look nicer.” He has owned the station since 1999, and it recently has been outflanked and outgunned by the nearby Blue Apple and “Dexter Bakery” (as people tend to call Charlie Gallup’s Citgo station at 2955 Packard, because of its awning sign that advertises the baked goods sold there).
