Pret A Manger, the UK-based popular freshly made food and organic coffee chain, which has partnered with Reliance Brands, is opening its first shop in India on Friday. After that, it has plans to open more shops later this year, said a statement.
The inaugural Mumbai shop is spread across 2,567 sq ft offering sandwiches, baguettes, salads, and soups, as well as a variety of organic coffee, tea, shakes and smoothie options. RBL (Reliance Brands Ltd) MD Darshan Mehta said: "Our partnership with Pret A Manger aims to tap into this curiosity with an offering that we can proudly say - ensures traceability of coffee beans as much as a zero additive approach to food."
