Pret A Manger beverages and food items

Pret A Manger is a global sandwich and coffee house chain that prides itself on freshly prepared food. Founded in London, England, in 1986, the brand began with a single shop focused on natural ingredients and handmade products. It quickly expanded across the United Kingdom and eventually to international markets including the United States, France, Hong Kong, and the Middle East.

While the brand originated in the UK, its manufacturing and sourcing are localized to ensure freshness, meaning ingredients are sourced and products are prepared in the various countries where they operate. In 2018, the investment firm JAB Holding Company acquired a majority stake in the company, bringing it under the same ownership umbrella as other major coffee brands like Peet's and Keurig.

Today, Pret A Manger operates as a subsidiary under JAB Holding’s vast portfolio, maintaining its headquarters in London while benefiting from the global infrastructure of its Luxembourg-based parent company. The brand continues to focus on its 'freshly made' identity while expanding its digital presence and subscription-based coffee models.
