The Boston Globe reports that Pret a Manger is planning to open at least one new outlet somewhere in the city, joining other U.S. locations in New York, Washington, DC, and Chicago. The article mentions that the chain is looking to open a total of 14 locations in the United States as part of its expansion plans.
Pret a Manger, which first started out in 1986, focuses on quick-food items made using natural ingredients. Its American menu is different from its menu in Britain, but expect to see such sandwiches as balsamic chicken and avocado, cheddar and tomato, egg salad and arugula, chicken and bacon, and more at its Boston outlet(s). Other menu options will include soups, salads, baguettes, wraps, toasties, baked goods, and pastries.
[April 10 update: The Boston Globe mentions the first Pret a Manger location in Boston will be within the former Borders space on Boylston Street in the Back Bay. It appears that the space will be divided into three sections, with a couple of clothing stores moving into the other two sections.]
[August 24 update: The Back Bay Patch is reporting that Pret a Manger is hoping to open its Boylston Street location by the middle of November. Thanks to Eater Boston for bringing this to our attention.]
[November 19 update: Eater Boston states that the new Pret a Manger on Boylston Street is planning to open today.]
