Pret A Manger to land at MFG stations in the UK

The coffee brand will open a store at a forecourt for the first time.

Popular coffee and food chain Pret A Manger is set to open new shops at petrol stations owned by the Motor Fuel Group (MFG).

This will be the first participation of the on-th-go provider in the petrol station segment. Pret is set to open one trial store at an MFG-owned and BP-branded site in Southgate, London.

The MFG partnership, the largest forecourt operator in the UK with over 900 sites, marks a positive step in Pret’s expansion plans.

“We are proud to become the first forecourt operator globally to welcome a Pret on-site for consumers who want a more premium experience,” MFG CEO, William Bannister, said.

Coffees and other hot drinks will be prepared by baristas trained by Pret, so the same Pret experience of the high street is brought seamlessly to the forecourt.
