Pret A Manger to open in Nugent on 9th November

It will be partnering with St Christopher Church to donate unsold food at the end of each day.

The new shop, located at Orpington’s retail and leisure destination Nugent, will feature internal and external seating areas for around 100 customers, free WIFI, and a filtered water tap.

General Manager Cristina Jorge Ramirez has worked at Pret for 10 years, most recently managing the shop at 73 Russell Square. “This is a really exciting new opening for us and we’re looking forward to getting to know our customers here at Nugent (and getting to explore the shops on our breaks too!)”.

Tina Powley, Centre Manager for Nugent, Orpington said, “Pret is a very welcome addition to the centre and we’re delighted to add another great food brand to the line-up. At the same time, we’re also pleased to add an extra 10 spaces to the car park to help visitors park quickly and easily”.

Juanita Cracchiolo, Pret Foundation Trust Project Manager, said, “As part of Pret’s commitment to help alleviate the pressures of homelessness in the UK, our shop is very proud to be partnering with St Christopher Church, where we will be donating unsold food at the end of each day."
