Pret a Manger Opening 2nd DC Store

One of New York's most ubiquitous sandwich shops is coming to Metro Center. Pret a Manger is like an ATM in Manhattan; you can find one every couple of blocks. They're everywhere. As of today though, there's only one in DC. The existing location is also near the 42 bus line at 1825 I Street NW. Pret a Manger is a British company with stores in the UK, China and the United States.

The new location is at the corner of 11th and F NW, across the street from H&M. I'd always gone there for coffee, but there are some vegan and vegetarian options so I will definitely pay a lunch visit or two to this place. Nice addition to the downtown lunch and sandwich scene. It is scheduled to open in May of this year.

Hon, this is a London-based shop. It's still relatively new in NYC, despite the number of shops.

yes, that's totally acknowledged in the first paragraph. i do conduct basic research believe it or not.

The shop just opened yesterday. Gave away vouchers for free lunches. I stood in line on Wed. and Thurs because they kept running out of food. From a customer service standpoint I'm not happy because I found out from someone who got food that they were letting those that got in the door the opportunity to take more than one lunch, hence why they ran out. Why print vouchers if you're not honoring them or not making enough food for what you are distributing?!
