The sandwich company will open 70 shops across Spain in the coming years
British tourists longing for a taste of home when holidaying in Spain and Portugal will soon be able to sink their teeth into a fresh sandwich or sip organic coffee from Pret A Manger as the UK company has announced that it is expanding into the Iberian Peninsula.
“It’s been a long-term ambition for me to introduce Pret to customers across Spain and Portugal, and so I’m absolutely thrilled that we’ll soon be serving our freshly made food and 100 per cent organic coffee here,” said Pano Christou, Chief Executive Officer at Pret A Manger.
“The team at Ibersol have huge experience and we’re really looking forward to working together to grow our business across the region.”
Pret plans to double the size of its business in the next five years and will open more stores in the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Canada and the Middle East. Closer to home, the sandwich company has 600 sites and will open no fewer than 70 Pret shops across Spain over the next couple of years.
“This new agreement with Pret A Manger is a great business opportunity for Ibersol Group, allowing us to further strengthen our position in the food-to-go market across Iberia. We are confident that Pret will be very well received by Spanish and Portuguese customers, known for its emblematic British-style sandwiches and fresh coffee,” Dr. Alberto Teixeira, Co-President of Grupo Ibersol, said.
