It credited £100m of new investment from founder Sinclair Beecham and majority owner JAB for its expansion effort.Image:Pret launched retail coffee products, a coffee subscription service and expanded through delivery operators in a bid to build back and its chief executive, Pano Christou, told the PA news agency the omni-channel approach had made it more resilient.
"We are keen to open more stores in regional and suburban areas, as these have been really strong recently. "We have obviously kept an eye on the way trends have shifted since the pandemic and obviously areas such as service stations have been particularly busy, so that is why we have linked with Moto and Motor Fuel Group.
"We are seeing lots of property opportunities but it is unsurprisingly competitive for the best sites, but I think landlords see us as a really strong brand and are keen to bring Pret in."
