‘Every Pret Is A Veggie Pret’: Pret Ends Meat-Free Branches

Pret A Manger has decided to close all of its Veggie Pret stores as vegan options have become increasingly popular at all of its branches. The first Veggie Pret store opened in London in 2016 and now, with veganism being more mainstream, the company feels that specialized meat-free stores are no longer necessary. The last three Veggie Pret stores will start serving meat alongside vegan food by the end of the month.

Despite the closure of the Veggie Pret stores, demand for vegan food remains high, with one in three main meals sold at Pret A Manger now being vegan or vegetarian. The rise in popularity of vegan options can be seen across the food industry, with major brands launching plant-based products and fast-food chains like Burger King aiming to offer more meat-free options. The movement toward meat-free eating is growing stronger and becoming more accessible as more people embrace plant-based diets.
