Pret A Manger

This year, over 150 people from Pret 75B have had the opportunity to volunteer with The Felix Project, the amazing food redistribution charity.   Across Pret, our teams have donated 147,009 kg of Pret food, providing the equivalent of 350,000 meals.   Being involved gives us a deeper understanding of the increasing need to tackle food insecurity in the UK. The Felix Project not only provides meals but delivers them with compassion. It relies heavily on volunteers and food donations to continue its work, and we encourage anyone who can to get involved.   Join us in supporting The Felix Project.

At Pret, we know that to truly understand the needs of our teams and customers, we need to stay close to where the magic happens – our shops. That’s why, on Buddy Day, everyone from our Support Centre steps out of their usual roles to spend a full shift alongside our fantastic shop teams, whether it’s a finance manager working front of house or a business coordinator brewing as a Barista. From crafting the perfect latte and engaging with customers, to serving up our signature soups, Buddy Day keeps us connected to what truly matters: ensuring happy teams and happy customers. It’s a day of fun, fresh perspectives, and building stronger bonds across the business. We’re proud to say this initiative is loved by all. It’s a brilliant way to keep growing together.

Whether you're grabbing a bite on the go or taking a break from a day of shopping, our team can't wait to serve you. Pop in to say hi to Adriana and the team.

We’re proud to share our latest financial results for the first half of 2024.   We’re thrilled to have doubled the size of the business three years ahead of schedule, and we’ve seen sales across our shops grow by 10% year-on-year, reaching £569 million in the first half of this year.    This follows an exceptional 2023, where sales hit £1.1 billion - an impressive 22% rise from the year before.   Pano Christou, CEO, shares, “I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved at Pret over the last few years. It’s been a journey since we set ourselves some tough targets post-pandemic to get Pret back to its best. Today, I’m pleased to celebrate the people who’ve made it all happen – our amazing teams, partners, and customers around the world.   “From our teams freshly preparing over 300 unique recipes in our kitchens daily, to our partners opening new shops in countries all over the globe, everyone has played a role in making Pret what it is today. Pret is still proudly a British-born and based brand, but it’s simply amazing to think that £1 in every £4 is now spent outside the UK.”   You can read more about our results here: https://lnkd.in/egFJj3DJ   A huge thank you to everyone who’s been part of Pret’s journey! Together, we’re taking Pret to new places, and we can’t wait for what’s next.   If you’d like to join the Pret journey, check out our career opportunities here: https://lnkd.in/e55ytpMR
