Pret a Manger to close 30 stores, putting 1,000 jobs at risk
Pret a Manger has said it will close 30 stores across the UK as a result of declining sales, putting around 1,000 jobs at risk.
Pano Christou, the sandwich shop chain’s chief executive, said: “It’s a sad day for the whole Pret family, and I’m devastated that we will be losing so many employees. But we must make these changes to adapt to the new retail environment.
“Our goal now is to bring Pret to more people, through different channels and in new ways, enabling us to grow once more in the medium term.”
