Pret A Manger is opening two new shops in partnership with Roadchef, bringing freshly made food and organic coffee to travellers across the motorway network.
The new roadside shops will open at Taunton Deane Southbound Services on the M5, between Junctions 25 and 26, and Clacket Lane Westbound Services on the M25, between Junctions 5 and 6.
The openings will create around 15 new jobs.
Taunton Deane South is opening on 22 July, followed by Clacket Lane West on 28 July.
The openings reflect Roadchef’s continued focus on responding to the changing needs of road users.
Roadchef continues to invest in transforming its motorway service areas, following the recent announcement of more than £300m of investment over the next five years.
The programme will support new retail and catering concepts, enhanced EV charging infrastructure, upgraded HGV driver facilities and the development of new sites.
The investment is designed to strengthen Roadchef’s offer for the millions of customers it welcomes each year.
Dan Sutton, Brands Director at Roadchef, said: “Continuing to grow our partnership with Pret is another important step in strengthening the food and drink offer across our motorway service areas.
“We’re committed to working with the very best brands to provide customers with greater choice, quality and convenience, helping to make every journey a better experience.”
Sam Otterburn, Head of Franchise at Pret A Manger, added: “It’s fantastic to be opening two new shops with our franchise partner Roadchef.
“Expanding across transport hubs is an important part of our growth strategy.
“We’re looking forward to welcoming customers at both Taunton Deane South and Clacket Lane West.”
Customers will be able to enjoy Pret’s full menu of freshly prepared sandwiches, salads, hot food, snacks and baked goods.
Menu favourites include the All-Butter Croissant, Chicken Caesar Bacon Baguette and Posh Cheddar & Pickle Baguette, all made throughout the day in the shops’ on-site kitchens.
Organic coffees, teas and iced drinks prepared by Pret’s baristas will also be available.
Club Pret members can enjoy 50% off barista-made drinks at the new locations for £5 a month.
