Pret A Manger opens first standalone shop in Canada
The brand has been opening pop-up shops in Toronto and Vancouver since 2022.
Pret A Manger will open its first standalone shop in Toronto, Canada.
Since 2022, pop-up shops have introduced Toronto and Vancouver locals to Pret's organic coffee and freshly made grab-and-go food. According to Pret A Manger, this new standalone Pret shop is the next evolution of the beloved brand's expansion to Canada.
The first Pret shop opened in London in 1986 and has since expanded globally to North America, Europe and Asia.
"This expansion into Canada is a natural next step for Pret globally. We are committed to bringing the Pret brand to more people, wherever they are and after the warm welcome from locals at our Pret pop-ups in Canada, we're excited to continue expanding our footprint and menu offerings to more Canadians,” Jorrie Bruffett, President, Pret A Manger North America said.
Fan-favourite recipes like Pret's Famous Ham & Cheese Baguette, Mediterranean Mezze Salad and a selection of freshly baked goods, including Pret's best-selling croissants, will make up the menu for Pret's first standalone shop in Toronto.
All freshly made food, including Pret's range of salads, wraps, soups, sandwiches and baguettes, will be hand-prepared in Pret's onsite kitchen daily by shop Team Members and all organic coffees and teas will be expertly poured by highly trained Baristas.
At the end of each day, any unsold food will be donated to Second Harvest, helping create lasting, positive change for people and for our planet.
On 5 February, customers can pop-in for a grand opening event beginning at 8AM. The first 100 people can enjoy a free breakfast item on a first come, first served basis. The celebration will continue all week long with daily promotions like a free lunch to the first 100 customers on Tuesday, free large drink with any purchase on Wednesday, free reusable bottles with purchase to the first 100 customers on Thursday and free bakery item with lunch purchase on Friday to the first 100 customers.
