How WFH is influencing where Pret A Manger will open new stores
Briefly

Post-pandemic work dynamics are influencing Pret A Manger's expansion strategy in the UK. Clare Clough, the UK boss of the company, shared on City AM's Boardroom Uncovered podcast that the brand is adapting by considering store locations in residential areas to accommodate the rise of hybrid working. This strategic shift aims to meet consumer needs for convenient meal options, offering breakfast and lunch whether customers are working from home or in the office. The company is also exploring new store formats and promising growth opportunities across various locations.
Clare Clough emphasized that Pret A Manger is adapting to post-pandemic shifts in working patterns by focusing on opening new stores in residential areas as well as workplaces.
Clough stated, 'We have to adjust the business around that. That's why you've seen us open more shops in areas where people live as much as areas where people work.'
