Pret A Manger (Pret), known for its organic coffee and fresh food, has launched its first standalone shop in Toronto, Canada.

Situated at 90 Adelaide Street, the new outlet will serve a variety of hand-prepared items, including the Ham and Cheese Baguette and Mediterranean Mezze Salad.

The company's new Toronto location extends its offerings beyond organic coffee and teas.

The shop's menu features a range of salads, wraps, soups, sandwiches and baguettes.

The new location follows the success of pop-up shops in Toronto and Vancouver.

To celebrate the opening, Pret will host a special event on 5 February 2024 at which the first one hundred guests will receive a complimentary breakfast item.

The festivities will continue throughout the week with daily promotions, including free lunches, large drinks, re-usable bottles and bakery items for early customers.

Pret North America president Jorrie Bruffett said: “This expansion into Canada is a natural next step for Pret globally.

“We are committed to bringing the Pret brand to more people wherever they are, and after the warm welcome from locals at our Pret pop-ups in Canada, we're excited to continue expanding our footprint and menu offerings to more Canadians.”

Since the opening of the first Pret shop in London in 1986, the chain has expanded its global presence to include locations across North America, Europe and Asia.

in January 2024, the company unveiled its first children’s menu to attract a younger demographic and their families to its UK cafés.

The menu targets children aged between four to ten. It will be available in 70% of Pret’s 460 UK shops and will expand throughout the year.
