Pret a Manger to open 200 more UK stores in next two years

Wednesday, September 22, 2021

CEO Pano Christou told PA news agency Pret's growth plan will target more transport hubs, motorway service stations and suburbs.

Sandwich chain Pret a Manger plans to open 200 UK stores in the next two years after receiving a £100m financial injection - and says people will return to shops when they travel back into UK cities.

Pret has said sales in the UK are returning to pre-Pandemic levels, after sales slumped 58 per cent to £295m last year, causing an operating loss of £256.5m as the company tackled temporary store closures.

The Mirror also reports the chain is aiming to reinstate the 3.000 employees who lost their jobs last year.
