Pret a Manger has announced that it will begin to reopen another 20 London stores this week, taking its total number of reopened locations to 30.
The high street lunchtime favourite revealed the measure following its initial reopening of 10 London cafes earlier in the month. The first locations were chosen because they were close to NHS hospitals across the capital.
Pret has also announced that it will extend its 50 per cent discount for NHS staff until May 15.
The 20 annouced today will be open for takeaway and delivery only – with no eat-in option in accordance with government guidelines – and stores will be open for reduced hours. The gradual reopenings will begin tomorrow, Friday May 1. Delivery will be available via Deliveroo, Just Eat and Uber Eats.
Pret has said that reopening the stores will allow them to produce and donate more meals to those in need via its Pret Foundation associates, including the Standard’s Food For London Now appeal partner The Felix Project.
