Pret A Manger coming to Canada!

Most/all of the pop-ups are gone.......they were a market-sounding exercise.

A test.

From discussions w/franchisees, for the most part, they weren't particularly successful relative to cost.

A&W may have a different view.

I suspect they are hoping the free-standing location will work better, they certainly aren't pursuing an aggressive roll-out last I checked though. So I'm inclined to think of this as market-test 2.

***

Just checked, we're at 3 free-standing Prets nationally, 2 in Toronto, 1 in Vancouver.

We'll know they're serious when they're adding at least one a month.

As someone who got lunch out of that A&W/Pret often-ish, I liked having the Pret options in that A&W. It was nicer than just getting yet another chicken burger. But they're delusional if they think I'm gonna walk 10-15 minutes each way to the store on Adelaide.
