Gutom Staff NOW OPEN
PRET A MANGER
SOUTH VANCOUVER
GUTOM EATS! Pret a Manger is NOW OPEN at Marine Drive Skytrain Station in South Vancouver. The new Pret a Manger is a stall inside A & W restaurant. Is this the wildest collaboration ever?! Let’s check it out! Yes you can get Root Beer with your Pret a Manger.
A and W has done the unexpected. They’ve brought over PRET A MANGER the popular grab and go sandwich shop from the UK.This is the first location in CANADA.
Pret is a famous UK based fast food chain known for fresh sandwiches, soups, baked goods, and coffee in a cafe setting. This is the first Pret in Canada. The stall is a test ‘pilot program’ to see if people like the food! A&W has the exclusive rights to Pret in Canada!
Prices are reasonable at $5 – $14.99 and the portion sizes seem very good and filling. There’s a cold food fridge, hot food section, merch/coffee, and baked goods. Plus fresh bananas, and apples. That would be pretty good for breakfast convenience!
In French, Pret a Manger means Ready to Eat!
Nice quality and presentation. The avocados and veggies look fresh. A feast for the eyes! A funny contrast with the fried foods and burgers of A&W.
Lots of delicious choices here. Hard to choose!
