Pret a Manger expands in Newcastle, announcing second Tyneside cafe
Cafe brand Pret A Manger has announced the opening date for its second Newcastle restaurant.
Pret A Manger is opening its newest shop on Eldon Square in Newcastle just in time for Christmas.
Locals and visitors will be able to enjoy the brand’s offerings in a new city centre site, adding to the current Northumberland Street site.
Opening on Saturday, December 20, in the popular shopping destination, it also marks Pret’s 25th opening with franchise partner Exultant Group.
There is seating for up to 100 customers to sit and enjoy their meal, or Pret’s wide menu can also be delivered to local customers via Deliveroo, Uber Eats and Just Eat.
The new shop will create 15 new jobs for the local community and as with all Pret shops, any unsold freshly made food will be donated to those most in need via The Pret Foundation.
The shop will be open Monday to Friday from 8am to 5pm, 8:30am until 6pm on Saturdays and 10am to 4:30pm on Sundays.
Sam Otterburn, Head of Franchise at Pret A Manger said: “We’re excited to be opening a new shop in Newcastle in the popular Eldon Square shopping area with our longstanding franchise partner Exultant Group.
“We can’t wait to welcome customers in soon and serve them our freshly made food and organic coffee.”
Helen Cowie, Centre Director at Eldon Square, said: "We are delighted to welcome the much-loved brand Pret a Manger to Eldon Square, bringing even more variety for our visitors.
“This new opening brings a fresh experience right into the heart of the centre, and we can't wait for our guests to enjoy Pret's fantastic offering from day one."
