The UK food-to-go and coffee chain currently operates over 700 outlets across 21 markets and is taking action to protect its growth ambitions amid rising economic instability
In September 2021, Pret A Manger announced an ambitious plan to double the size of its 550-store business by the end of 2026.
Since then, the UK food-to-go and coffee chain has added approximately 200 stores to its portfolio and expanded from five markets globally to 21, including launches in India, Kuwait, Canada, Spain and Ireland.
