Pret A Manger to open first outlet in Dubai
The brand is set to open its doors Dubai International in partnership with Emirates Leisure Retail.
Pret A Manger CEO Clive Schlee said, “The UAE is a new territory for us, and with Dubai International now the busiest international airport in the world, we believe the new shop will present an exciting opportunity for Pret.”
“Our airside shop, with its large on-site kitchen, will offer the best of Pret’s menu to passengers as they transit through the terminal, or stay and enjoy our comfortable seating area between flights. We look forward to hearing what customers think when we open later this year.”
Andrew Day, Group CEO of Emirates Leisure Retail said, “We at Emirates Leisure Retail are delighted to have been chosen by Pret to be their franchise partner as they open in UAE. We fully share the Pret values and these fit perfectly with our commitment to delivering first-class experiences through engaging concepts for global travellers.”
“We are tremendously excited by the opportunities this partnership presents and are fully committed to delivering a brand promise and creating consumer experiences that will exceed our customers’ expectations.”
The outlet will open as part of the launch of Concourse D and the newly redeveloped Terminal 1 at Dubai International later this year.
