Plans for major coffee shop's return go cold
and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
Pret A Manger’s East Street shop closed down in 2020 at the height of the pandemic with the company citing a lack of financial viability. Two years later plans appeared for Pret to return to the street and the district council gave the coffee chain the green light to open in the former Gerry Weber store.
Then in May the company began advertising for range of job roles from front-of-house to management roles.

Pret A Manger has been approached for more information.
