Pret A Manger to open 20 shops in Ireland and hire 500 people

27 comments

1. Another generic chain

2. Do they do chicken fillet rolls? Spar/Centra will be on notice, this could be the disruption the shit sandwich market needed.

3. Praise the lord. Hopefully it will force other places to improve standards. The rip of some cafés in ireland selling shit sambos and pisswater coffee.

4. How much do they charge for a plain roll with just butter

5. Yay. I always liked them

6. Never been in one.

   They nice?

7. Pray-a-mahn-jay

   You’re welcome 😛

8. Cool, walking through Dublin will be even more like walking through any UK city.

9. For anyone who drinks a lot of takeaway tea/coffee, they have a monthly subscription in the UK, £25 a month for up to 5 drinks *a day*. Absolutely ridiculous value, especially for someone who drinks a coffee most days. Hopefully they bring it here.

10. Tried it a few times in London when I was on holidays there.

    Nothing special, IMHO.

    It’s yet another coffee chain with pre-packaged sandwiches, and in Ireland we already have…

    * Costa
    * O’Briens
    * Baker’s and Baristas (it will always be BB muffins to me, though.)
    * Starbucks
    * Café Nero
    * and others I’m probably forgetting.

    Don’t really see the need for another one, but whatever floats people’s boats, I guess…

11. I like Pret.

12. Could have sworn I’ve seen them here before. Did they sell stuff in other shops or something?

13. The hipsters shall be happy only 11.80 for a medium coffee and ready made sandwich somewhat warmed up Mmmmm

14. Fucks sake it’s not even nice. Bland coffee & blander sandwiches. Oh well.

15. They do awesome gooey almond croissants !

16. Ffs. This is all we need. Adding a sprinkle more depression to our main streets

17. Good! I really like Pret. They have nice bacon/cheese croissants and sparkling cucumber water.

18. Yep because we are swimming in disposable income

19. Fuck pret. As bad as Starbucks

20. Why does anyone go to these places over spar/centra? Baffling.

    Wetherspoons for a bit of that delicious flat warm beer would be savage though.

21. Why?

22. Prêt à chier

23. Boooo!

24. The worst food and coffee you will ever eat (or drink), a welcome addition.

25. I actually like the food they serve, so I’m happy to hear this.. but seems like I’m in the minority here.

    I know we have other chains and coffee shops, but the food is a little different. I like variety.

26. Gawd no. Shite food.
    And Wetherspoons kips can feck off back to tanland too.

27. This is how Ireland welcomes Pret:
