Pret A Manger expands in Middle East, opens first shop in Kuwait

Popular UK-based sandwich and coffee chain Pret A Manger, also known as Pret has officially opened its first shop in Kuwait. The shop was opened in partnership with Kuwait-based franchise group One PM Franchising. This marks a major milestone in the global brand’s expansion in the Middle East. Pret is located in the heart of the capital at Al Hamra Business Tower and will serve a carefully curated menu of freshly made food prepared in the shop’s on-site kitchen daily. All ingredients are seasonally fresh and locally-sourced where possible, with all food prepared and sold based on Pret’s strict ‘made today, sold today’ commitment. Pano Christou, CEO of Pret A Manger said: “We’re excited to be opening our first shop in Kuwait with our new franchise partner, One PM. We have ambitious plans to bring our freshly made food and organic coffee to more people across the world and we’re pleased to be growing Pret’s presence in the Middle East. We’re looking forward to working more closely with the One PM team, and we can’t wait for customers to visit our shops to try our high quality and great tasting food.” One PM Franchising chairman, Hamad Al-Sayer spoke of the Group’s efforts to expand in the region, saying: “We are pleased to be partnering with Pret A Manger to bring this iconic and beloved chain to Kuwait, and potentially other countries within the region.” Pret Kuwait is set to build on Pret’s long-standing commitment to help those in need and give back to its local community through the work of The Pret Foundation. The brand has partnered with refood, the first non-profit company dedicated to reducing waste in Kuwait’s food and consumer goods sector, to donate unsold food on a daily basis to benefit those most in need and reduce food waste. Pret currently operates more than 550 shops in the UK, US, Hong Kong , France, Dubai, Switzerland , Brussels , Singapore and Germany. Opening in Kuwait continues its plan to double the size of its business in the next five years and follows recent international openings in Canada and Ireland earlier this year, with further openings in India, Spain and Portugal in the pipeline. “The Pret brand is one with a rich legacy that promises great, quality food and a joyful experience and we can’t wait to deliver those moments of joy to the people of Kuwait,” added Al-Sayer. Recently, the Walt Disney Company Middle East and Alshaya Group announced the opening of the Middle East’s very first standalone Disney Store. Spanning over 800sqm, the store is set to open its doors this November at The Avenues in Kuwait.

Pret continues global expansion with new Middle East franchise partner

Pret A Manger has teamed up with Kuwaiti franchise group One PM Franchising to grow its presence in the Middle East. The move forms part of Pret A Manger’s ambitious plan to double the size of its business within the next five years. It follows an October agreement to introduce the Pret brand and products to A&W restaurants in Canada, the launch of a self-serve coffee brand in the UK, and a coffee subscription service. One PM Franchising is a subsidiary of One Franchising Holding, a regional food and beverage operator with a presence across eight countries. Currently, Pret’s Middle East presence comprises just three stores in Dubai, UAE, which include two at its international airport. “Demand for our freshly prepared food and organic coffee is growing, so to meet that demand we committed to an ambitious growth plan. Our new partnership with One PM Franchising will help expand the beloved Pret brand in the Middle East, where we already have three shops. We’re really pleased that Hamad and the One PM team will be joining us on this journey, helping to spread Pret joy to more customers,” said Pret CEO Pano Christou. “We’re pleased to be partnering with Pret A Manger to bring the freshly made food and organic coffee chain to Kuwait, and potentially other regional countries, and help expand its brand to our existing customers and markets in the Middle East,” added Hamad Al-Sayer, One PM Franchising Chairman. In a busy year for Pret, the JAB Holdings-owned coffee chain entered roadside franchisee partnerships with independent forecourt operator, MFG, and motorway services operator, Moto, to open stores at UK petrol stations. In May, it announced a concession store trial at Tesco supermarkets in the UK. In August, it partnered US coffee giant JDE Peet’s to launch a new range of at-home coffee pods. Hot on the heels of its Middle East franchise agreement, Pret announced it would trial its first ever loyalty programme. ‘Pret Perks’ will be available to Pret’s Coffee Subscription customers through their Pret A Manger digital accounts as part of an initial trial. “As with any new piece of technology we are currently in the testing phase and rolling this out slowly to our Pret Superfans, our Coffee Subscribers, and will be looking to take learnings on board to make the loyalty programme the best it can be. We hope to open it up to all customers as soon as possible in 2022. Over the past 18 months we’ve responded to how people now want to interact with our brand and products, from launching bake-at-home croissants, to growing our digital capabilities through the launch of Pret’s Coffee Subscription,” said Clare Clough, UK Managing Director, Pret A Manger.
