Pret a Manger to roll out shops at more UK service stations

Sandwich and coffee chain Pret a Manger is set to open more outlets at petrol stations in the United Kingdom after signing a deal with service station operator Roadchef.

The first shop will open at Chester Motorway Service Area (MSA) on the M56 at junction 14 before Christmas, and a second site will open at Clacket Lane West MSA on the M25 between junction 5 and 6 in the spring of 2018.

“Pret’s fast service is perfect for busy travellers,” said Clive Schlee, CEO at Pret, adding that shops will be equipped with their own kitchens to guarantee freshness of food and beverage.

This partnership is part of Roadchef’s drive to offer millions of time-limited motorway users a wider choice that mirrors the diversity found on the high street.
