Pret A Manger has announced the opening of a new drive-thru restaurant in a major change of direction for the company. The outlet opened in Warrington, Cheshire, just off junction 21 of the M6 on Tuesday, in partnership with Motor Fuel Group. It is a trial format for the brand seeking to expand its presence in transport and travel locations across the UK.
The drive-thru features a single vehicle lane and indoor seating for up to 48 customers, as well as EV charging facilities and on-site restrooms. Customers can choose from Pret’s complete breakfast and lunch offerings, along with a selection of popular snacks, coffee, and a range of hot and cold beverages, including smoothies.
Pret’s president for the UK and Ireland Ross Warnes said: “Travel hubs and roadside locations present a huge growth opportunity for Pret, making the launch of our first drive-thru a natural next step in our expansion.”
Jack Tindall, head of food service operations at Motor Fuel Group, added: “As Pret’s largest UK franchise partner, opening Pret’s first ever drive-thru is a major milestone for our partnership.
“We’re incredibly proud to be part of launching this new format for Pret and look forward to serving the Warrington community.”
