Chicago store number two for Pret
Pret A Manger has opened its second Chicago storefront at 100 N. La Salle St. less than three months after the U.K. eatery first entered the Midwest market
“We’re thrilled with the positive response from our first shop at 211 W. Adams, and are eager to build on this warm welcome in Chicagoland,” said Martin Bates, president of Pret A Manger USA.
Every Pret A Manger store across the country receives daily deliveries of natural ingredients to their kitchens, and sandwiches, salads, baguettes, soups and pastries are freshly made throughout the day. At the end of the day, all leftover food is donated to local charities, such as The Greater Chicago Food Depository in Chicago. On average, Pret donates about 150-250 meals per day through its partnership with The Greater Chicago Food Depository, and more than 1.7 million products to charities each year in the United Kingdom.
