Pret A Manger arrives in Sheffield City Centre
The shop, located at Coles Corner on Fargate, will open on the 9th November.
It will feature a seating area for around 130 customers, free Wifi, and a filtered water tap where customers can get water for free. Pret’s menu of sandwiches, baguettes, salads, snacks, hot food and sweet treats will be on offer and all fresh items will be made daily in the shop kitchen by Leaders Kasper and Ewelina and their team.
Maria Pak, general manager at the new shop, has been a part of Pret for 9 years, most recently leading the shop at Parliament Street, York. She said, “We are so excited to open the doors to Sheffield’s second Pret. To celebrate the opening, and help our customers meet the team, we’re going to open the shop for a sneak peek next Wednesday 8th November from 12pm. The first 400 customers through the door will receive lunch on us!”
As part of Pret’s commitment to help alleviate the pressures of homelessness in the UK, the Fargate shop is on the look-out for local charities to donate unsold food to at the end of each day.
Pret Foundation trust project manager Juanita Cracchiolo said, “We’re currently looking for local charities to support through food donations each night, and would love to be contacted by any organisations who feel they could benefit from collecting fresh, unsold food from us in the evenings.”
