Pret a Manger has opened its first-ever drive-thru location in Warrington, as part of a trial with Motor Fuel Group.
The new 2,000 sq ft location opened today (May 5) near Junction 21 of the M6 in Warrington. Opened in partnership with Motor Fuel Group, the new location is designed to cater to local customers and motorists travelling across the North West.
The site has a digital menu and single-lane ordering system, alongside indoor seating for up to 48 customers, EV charging points, customer toilets and other facilities to offer customers a convenient stop-off point.
The Warrington site is a trial for Pret in the new format, as the once famously London-centric food-to-go retailer looks to broaden its reach beyond high streets, airports and train stations.
Pret currently operates some 220 outlets in transport hubs across the UK.
Pret UK & Ireland president Ross Warnes said: “Travel hubs and roadside locations present a huge growth opportunity for Pret. This is about meeting customers where they are, while continuing to deliver the same freshly made food and service.”
Motor Fuel Group’s head of food service operations, Jack Tindall, added: “We know how much the people of Warrington love great coffee, and we’re thrilled to bring Pret’s freshly made food and Barista-made drinks to them. From freshly baked croissants to sandwiches, salads and organic coffee, this new shop offers everything customers love about Pret, designed for modern, on-the-go journeys.
“We’re incredibly proud to be part of launching this new format for Pret and look forward to serving the Warrington community.”
