MAKING DAYS (AND CAREERS) BRIGHTER

We’re proud to be a global business. And our mission is simple, really: to make every day a little bit brighter for our wonderful customers, teams and communities.
We believe in being kind, generous and honest. That’s why, at the end of each night, we donate as much of our unsold food as possible to those who need it most. And why we support those experiencing homelessness through The Pret Foundation.
Pret is also a place of opportunity, that’s constantly creating. We’re growing fast, through franchise partnerships all around the world. Where hardworking, passionate, wonderful people from around the world are given the chance to shine. (Like you).

And we work with those who also share our enthusiasm for our four values:

• Happy Teams, Happy Customers
• Amazing Standards Everyday
• Never Standing Still
• Doing The Right Thing
