A little more than a year after taking over ownership of the Juice Pub and Eatery in downtown Flagstaff, 23-year-old Christa Freeman embarked on a second concept as Urban Pine Eatery opened its doors in mid-February.

Located just a block south of the Juice Pub, Urban Pine Eatery took over the space previously held by the Pita Pit at the corner of East Aspen Avenue and North San Francisco Street. The location, which looks north toward Heritage Square, offered Freeman too good of an opportunity to pass up.
