Pret a Manger to Open First UK Drive-Through with Hundreds More on the Way
Pret A Manger plans up to 400 drive-through sites nationwide to boost roadside convenience and compete with Starbucks and Costa, CEO Pano Christou said.
- On May 5, Pret A Manger will open its first UK drive-through at Oakwood Gate services in Birchwood, Warrington. Signs spotted earlier this week confirmed the launch, replacing a former Starbucks café.
- Partnering with major petrol station operator Motor Fuel Group, the site represents the chain's first drive-through model, with additional locations confirmed to be in the pipeline.
- CEO Pano Christou hinted in September that this location is the first of many, claiming '400 more' travel-friendly sites could be in the pipeline.
- With more than 700 sites across 21 countries, the chain currently operates around 500 shops in the UK, with about half located in London, priding itself on 'freshly made food'.
- Beyond the new drive-thru, the company already maintains 60 walk-in roadside locations across the UK, with 30 more on the way. These efforts aim to challenge competitors like Costa in the travel-friendly market.
